FIFA of all organizations...

calls their new Ballon D'Or "Best FIFA Men's Player" and of course there's a Women's Player, too.

Before they had FIFA World Player of the Year and FIFA Women's World Player of the Year.

Excellent news .

Though as you say, surprising from FIFA. Mind you, maybe with the banning of Sepp "Women should play in hotpants" Blatter, FIFA are turning over a new leaf. One can but hope.

On the depressing side of things, though, have you seen today's story about Eni Aluko? I wondered why she was commentating rather than playing in the Euros. Very disappointed in Sampson (having a bit of a "Say it ain't so, Joe" moment) - I thought he was one of the good 'uns.

No I did not, nor that she is a lawyer! Wow. That's super impressive.

And that's terrible. How can people like that get into such positions? Can't have been the first time he said something like that.
