The Swans are nothing without the W: Why I’ll be at the SCG on SundayVictoria Rawlings, a former AFLW field umpire and passionate Swans supporter, expresses deep disappointment and betrayal after recent controversies involving the Sydney Swans football club. She highlights the club's historical role as a leader in social justice and inclusivity, particularly through initiatives like Pride Round and their stance against homophobia. However, she notes that the club's actions have not translated into genuine inclusion for women within the sport. Rawlings recounts her personal experiences of exclusion as a female athlete and administrator, including lack of pathways for women to participate, dismissive attitudes toward women's sports, and institutional biases that marginalize female players and officials. Her reflections underscore broader systemic issues of sexism and gender inequality in Australian football.
