133
00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:13,680
Speaker 1: AGO i was speaking on a panel and you know

134
00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:15,800
Speaker 1: when they open it up to question time and and

135
00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:19,000
Speaker 1: a QUESTION i got given from someone in the audience

136
00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:22,000
Speaker 1: was do you think it should be CALLED. Aflm so

137
00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:24,000
Speaker 1: OBVIOUSLY i play IN. Aflw do you think they should

138
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:26,520
Speaker 1: relabel it TO. Aflm and at the, TIME i. DIDN'T

139
00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:28,160
Speaker 1: i hadn't thought a huge amount about, it AND i

140
00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:30,400
Speaker 1: didn't really know what to, say SO i kind of

141
00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:32,840
Speaker 1: didn't dismiss, it BUT i was, Like i'm actually not.

142
00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:34,800
Speaker 1: SURE i have a think about. It and now we're

143
00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:36,960
Speaker 1: starting to see this, Happen, LIKE i love that soccer

144
00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:39,160

145
00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:42,560
Speaker 1: recognize that women's sport is not an addition to the

146
00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:43,200

147
00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:43,440

149
00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:50,840
Speaker 1: idea of making it like that it's, equal like the

150
00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:53,280
Speaker 1: game is soccer and then just men's and women's, soccer
