Set of football stickers, aimed at girls.
Sticker reads "I KNOW I PLAY LIKE A GIRL. KEEP UP!"
I can't work out if it's nice as it's saying you need to keep up with girls as they're great at football, or if the saying "I play like a girl" is suggesting girls are usually rubbish at sport.

Not offensive. They sound it at first glance but in this scenario are actually implying girls play better

My epic footballer DD2 had a t shirt with this one - she could outplay most lads at any kickabout

Usually you play like a girl is an insult but they're turning it around.
