The ladies have spoken!
Francesca Needham, who is an English transgender soccer player, allegedly broke a woman’s knee during a game after his shot allegedly ricocheted off his opponent.
With the circumstances being what they are, other teams around the female league are outright refusing to play against Needham, who not only recently quit because of the drama, but is now threatening a lawsuit over apparent discrimination, according to The Telegraph.
To simplify it: A biological male who now identifies as a female allegedly smashed a woman’s knee and broke it, and now that other women don’t want to play with Needham on the pitch, Needham is playing the ‘boohoo’ victim with a completely illogical lawsuit.

Taking place in the Sheffield women’s soccer league, at least four clubs have laid down boycotts against the Rossington Ladies squad after the knee-breaking incident.
On the team’s official Facebook, Needham issued a comment to announce the move to “step down from playing football for the foreseeable future,” and also hinted at a possible lawsuit.
“As some of you may have heard, Rossington Main Ladies FC has faced challenges from teams unwilling to play against us while I am on the field,” Needham’s statement read.
“This unfortunate circumstance has prompted me to investigate pursuing a case of discrimination, as I believe it represents a breach of the code of conduct regarding diversity and inclusion, as well as safeguarding of adults in football established by both the Football Association and the Sheffield and Hallamshire Women and Girls League.”
