| Summary: |
The professionalization of female football raises many questions and its impact is transverse. The present paper intends to demonstrate that it is not a question of lack of norms but of gender, of male chauvinist and patriarchal bias for women not to be considered professional players. The voice of female players is fundamental; their personal and collective struggle is the living proof that the inequalities that they live as female football players are the result of deliberate discriminatory acts.
The causes that led to the declaration about the professionalization of female football by the Argentine Football Association (AFA) will be analyzed, and the role of the sport and its judicial and social conception will be addressed, for which the first case taken to court that advocated the cause of the professionalization of female football will be dealt with. It is fundamental to question the real situation female professional football players live in in our country. The degree of inequality that they are immersed in dates back to the historical idea that football is for men: if women want to play it, amateurism is the rule; and if they want to be professional, they will additionally have to show that their skills are equivalent to those of a man; even doing so, labor conditions will not be equalized.
This paper aims at gathering some ideas about why this fact occurs in female football, which legal framework considers this situation and how it actually affects the reality of female players. What is there behind the reluctance to make female professional football equal to male professional football? |
