Hello, Ms. Gachallan! I read an article by CBC addressing the merchandise gap from Canadian Woman’s to Men’s soccer. It was quiet saddening to read this article and realize that life as a Woman’s soccer fan isn’t all that easy. The articles starts off by reminding us of Canada’s amazing win against Sweden for the Tokyo Olympics Gold metal for Woman’s soccer! The final game against Sweden broke records as the most-watched event of the games in Canada, having upwards of 4.4 million concurrent viewers. But as the Woman’s soccer community went to go buy soccer jerseys from there new favourite player they would realize that it was extremely hard to get any soccer tops from there official online stores. Because the suppliers didn’t expect such a win and sch traffic on there site it sold out within days and nothing but extra-smalls were left. But if you wanted to go buy a Mens Canada jersey they were fully in stock at pretty much any size. Now I do understand that this can sometimes be expected after winning like that but it shouldn’t have sold out so quickly, maybe if it held a week and had restocking happening quickly it wouldn’t be that bad. But of course it didn’t and it sold out too quick and there aren’t much resupplying happening which is really disappointing.

What was this article about:

It was about the unequal merchandise gap between the Woman’s national team and the Mens.

Who does it involve:

The Canadian Woman’s national Soccer team.

Why did I choose this article:

I looked through a few other articles, some Soccer, some not and I landed on this one because I love the writers style and the Olympics are cool.

How does this article relate to “The Friday everything changed” book

This article connects with the book we are reading in a simple way. They are both talking about inequality with woman, it is quite sad honestly that after all these year there is still inequality and I hope most people hope that one day all of this end.

Thanks for reading.
