I opened a new blog: http://viscacerdanyola.blogspot.com , exclusively to explain things that happen in my city: Cerdanyola del Valles. I know that does not interest anyone, but policymakers have wallpaper the city with their propaganda posters, announcements and various meetings. The local approach, and everyone has thrown the cane to see what fishing. Therefore, I will use my right to denounce and virtual explain everything that surprised me, like it or bother. 
Let me lay hold of the topic title for this article. Yes, a little sexist, I admit. But I used to get your attention. So if you're reading this, do not stop. Follows. This is a text on the misfortune of being a woman ... specifically, a woman and a footballer.
If you put "women's football" in the Google search engine, the first thing that comes out is: "The Espanyol could be without the women's game if you can not find a sponsor to subsidize it, "according to the website Futfem . And is that the run-run of the disappearance of women's soccer RCD Espanyol in the air has a few fans parakeets.
Many times we have the consolation of looking the other side and see that in other places are much worse. Without going any further, the women's team has left Osasuna in disarray this week ten players for alleged indiscipline. Tajonar girls no longer complain about the failure to collect anything, but they can not even train because they sometimes do not have the available field. It is rumored that other teams in the Superliga and fishing in waters of the Kingdom of Navarre.
worst of the controversy these days is the feeling it leaves. To Be The Lowest of the low, nobody to Be ... You say you feel the last monkey. No one cared. This is the feeling of women's football, not only girls but also for the Osasuna Espanyol.
After the rout of the last day before the Rayo Vallecano (6-1), the girls first team Espanyol are just two points behind first. Depend on themselves to fight for the league title, they could earn a second time in its short history. Well, as you look shorter, because the section women's soccer team has over 40 years of experience, much as some would seem that it is a thing of the past four days. Even, many bring their game to the English team. This week, without going any further, Nuria Pomares Alba Mendoza and have been called the U-17.
I'll make a little history and we'll pull two carts a while. I remember that I was the first to report on the girls. Let this point of boasting. It was while working for the defunct newspaper Blanc i Blau, the dean of the English press. Year was around 1,995. And I remember, not to get merit, but because when that happened, the female Espanyol was not so "professionalized" as now. Things were done differently.
The team was born the year 1,970, and is not called that CD was only Espanyol. It was not until 1982 when it had its own statutes and could use the "RCD" thanks to the efforts of former director general, Peter Thomas, and the then president of the women, Fina Torres, accompanied by Montse Domingo. Still, it was considered a section "official" club.
When my stories, interviews or chronic BiB spoke of women, was the portrait of a group that was a real family-white. It was the vision of a group of girls that with hard work, sacrifice and fighting for some color work, putting money in your pocket, selling lottery tickets, and year after year looking for a place to train and play. Even my little sister was part of the ranks of women's football. I myself had to train the land of the field Taxonera in the Vall d'Hebron in Barcelona, \u200b\u200band paid their dues.
After winning two consecutive Queen's Cup (1996 and 1997), the club became interested in them. And with the club landing at Montjuïc in the year 2,002 and the entry of "Quad" as a sponsor, all the charm disappeared. Or that's what I believe happened. Espanyol
When women joined the club structure, no longer a family. Yes, they have won titles, but the road has left the spirit of one human group coordinated by Fina Torres, which is left ostracized and without the recognition he deserves.
Throughout the short but intense history, the female parrots have achieved honors negligible: a league - with case! - Five Queen Cups, four Copa Catalunya, and many other historical tournaments. But what has been achieved now is that Espanyol Women have the fame, outside Catalonia, where the club pays the most. We now have players and technical staff salary. Even evil tongues say that some have charged outrageous amounts. That we will leave to the world of "hearsay." But what is certain is that now their work and continuity depend on finding a sponsor to cover expenses. When they were doing better things with Josep Ramió as responsible director, is when most damage is done. And if Ramió resigns, is for something (BTW, Rami, if you read this, answer my calls. Thanks.)

From the club tell me that has not been seriously addressed the issue of female. Still must be thinking what to do with it were unsuccessful, and elegantly-expanding capital. Put the batteries lords of the council, because I say they understand that the other side of the Diagonal begin to do things right, something they've never done, "and did not want that this will also pass in front.
For an analogy, I think the issue is to sponsor women's team Espanyol which involves the sale of players for the survival of the club. Ie to parrots it sound like an excuse. An excuse sexist top management allegedly not entirely adequate. There has always been supporters and detractors that women play football. Damn topic.
