Powerleague Cardiff's campaign celebrates women in football
Powerleague Cardiff has launched She's Got Game in response to research showing that 46 per cent of women and girls in the UK have felt judged or excluded for wanting to play football. The initiative aims to celebrate, support, and promote female players across Wales and the UK. Christian Rose, CEO of Powerleague, said: "This survey confirms what we've long believed, that women and girls in Cardiff and across the UK are not only passionate about football, but ready to play. "Yet too many still face barriers that simply shouldn't exist. "At Powerleague, we're committed to breaking those down by creating inclusive, welcoming spaces where everyone can thrive, no matter their background or ability. "Football should be for everyone, and we're proud to be part of the movement making that a reality." The campaign also includes a competition inviting women and girls to share their football skills and favourite moments. Entrants will receive a free off-peak five-a-side pitch voucher and the chance to win one-to-one coaching with freestyle footballer Shannon Ghee. Powerleague Cardiff will also screen live matches throughout the UEFA Women's Euros, offering fans a safe place to gather while encouraging new audiences to take part in the game. Shannon Ghee said: "Football has given me confidence, community, and so much joy, and I want every girl and woman to feel that too. "She's Got Game is about celebrating skill, creativity, and passion, no matter your level. "Whether you're just starting out or have been playing for years, this is your moment to have fun, and show the world what you've got. "I encourage everyone across Cardiff to have a go at a trick, or share their favourite football bit, this summer."

Twenty-seven percent said it offered them a break from stress or routine, while 26% described it as a source of fun. A further 13% said the sport gave them drive and motivation. Respondents also shared what they would most like to learn. Tackling and defensive positioning topped the list at 42%, closely followed by penalty-taking under pressure (41%). Barriers The most cited reason for not playing more was fear of judgment or not feeling good enough (22%), followed by lingering beliefs that football is 'not for girls' (16%).

Others pointed to high costs (10%), or not knowing how or where to get involved (11%). Rubiales incident – a catalyst for women's football The survey also looked at reactions to the fallout from the Luis Rubiales incident at the 2023 Women's World Cup, when the Spanish football official was criticised for kissing a player during the celebrations. More than a quarter (28%) said the incident made them more determined to support women's football, particularly among women aged 25 to 34. Another 11% said it prompted them to become more vocal about inclusion and equality. Demand for equality The study also found overwhelming demand for equality in the sport. 53% want equal pay and sponsorship, 52% want more women in leadership, and only 2% are unsure about the future of women's football showing just how far things have come on for the better.

Judge orders rapper The Game to sell his Calabasas mansion to pay sexual assault accuser

Yahoo is using AI to generate takeaways from this article. This means the info may not always match what's in the article. Reporting mistakes helps us improve the experience. Generate Key Takeaways Rapper Jayceon Terrell Taylor, better known by his stage name The Game, has been ordered to sell his multi-million dollar Southern California mansion to pay back a woman who accused him of sexual assault. Taylor, 45, was sued in 2015 by Priscilla Rainey, who alleged that the rapper inappropriately touched her during the production of his VH1 reality series She's Got Game, on which she was a contestant. The 'Hate It Or Love It' rapper denied the allegations but failed to appear in court for the 2016 trial or any related hearings, leading to a default judgment. Rainy was awarded $1.13 million in compensatory damages for the alleged assault and an additional $6 million in punitive damages. Following years of Taylor failing to make payment, a judge approved Rainey's request that the West Coast rapper sell his Calabasas home in order to help finance the more than $7 million judgment she was awarded. Taylor fought back against the ruling, insisting that because the home is his primary residence, it is protected under California's homestead exemption. The court, however, found that Taylor 'does not have a qualifying interest in the Property that would allow him to claim a homestead exemption,' the filing added. Therefore, 'the Court does not reach the question of whether [Taylor] has met his burden to prove that he has continuously resided at the property.' Rapper The Game, real name Jayceon Taylor, was accused in 2015 of sexual assault by a former contestant of his 'She's Got Game' reality series (Getty) The four-bed, five-bath property is currently valued at $4,009,800, according to Zillow. It's described as a 'gated 2+ acre estate' with views of the Canyon and Santa Monica Mountains. It also comes with a casita and its own private tennis court. The Independent has contacted Taylor's representative for comment. When Rainey first came forward with the accusations, Taylor vehemently denied them on social media, writing: 'Don't be fooled by these accusations or the dollar amount in the headlines cause I put that on my favorite aunties poodle this broad ain't gettin s***! 'Every girl on that show will tell u I never touched this chick or ever desired to be anywhere near her. She got kicked off the show & as a result she filed this lame lawsuit which was probably her intentions before the show was ever even started.' Then, in 2020, Taylor took to social media again to hit out at Rainey. 'People out here dying from the rona n blogs out here creating false narratives for this Waffle House roach who doing anything her thirsty a** can to try n take money from me,' he wrote. 'I'm enjoying retirement !! Y'all been saying she got 7 million for 7 years & yet here I am, laid up tipsy off my 5th quarantine watching Tiger King lol.'
