Ep. 32: Allyship In Football, Respect for Marta, and Why We Should All Support Sancho

from The VERSUS Podcast · host VERSUS

Jordan Henderson's move to Al-Ettifaq last summer raised eyebrows, tarnishing his previous allyship and advocacy for the LGBTQ+ community. Only six months after arriving in Saudi Arabia with the proclaimed mission of ‘changing the game’, the former Liverpool player has returned to Europe. In this week's TFOF episode, the VERSUS team breaks down why Henderson's actions have been dangerous and what it means for the bigger conversation on allyship in football. We also talk about Troy Deeney's comments in the media about his Forest Green Rovers players, Marta receiving her flowers at this week’s FIFA Best Awards, and what Sancho's return to Borussia Dortmund says about the importance of feeling loved. ‘The Future of Football’ is a podcast from VERSUS bringing you closer to the people, the stories and the ideas shaping the future of the game. *This episode was recorded prior to Troy Deeney's sacking by Forest Green Rovers* Mayowa Quadri (@mayowaquadri_) Amie Cripps (@amiloucri) Ahmed Shooble (@AhmedShooble)
