It is not football that makes cisgender men abuse women and children.
It is not the alcohol that those men readily consume while watching football that makes them hurt women and children.
And win, lose or draw, the score doesn’t make a man beat a woman.
Patriarchy does.

Abusive men will abuse you whether their team wins or loses or draws, whether there is a lockdown or not, because it is about the abuser and the ways patriarchy enables and protects his belief that he is entitled to control you. feministgiant.com/p/essay-when-f… #EURO2020 #CopaAmerica2021
On/off the pitch, from managers to players to men who support them: patriarchy fuels a dangerous cocktail of toxic masculinity in football & many other men’s sports.
Football tournaments did not invent patriarchy. The latter drives the men’s game and the harm it takes home.
