swanker Posted August 14, 2022 Share Posted August 14, 2022 Haven’t noticed this. Is it because it’s no longer socially acceptable to use the word “Man” because of offending someone? 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lack of Action Man Posted August 14, 2022 Share Posted August 14, 2022 This is only very tenuously linked, but I assume in women’s football, it’s either MVP or player of the match? So … when they’re being pressed hard for the ball from the blindside, what do the fans/players shout? Surely not man on… player on doesn’t exactly roll off the tongue… Forgive my ignorance - I need to get to more live games (and not televised WSL matches). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

View from the Dolman Posted August 14, 2022 Share Posted August 14, 2022 There are also potential legal complications around "man of the match": Quote The intellectual property rights of the phrase "man of the match" has been sold at auction and some copyright experts think the slogan could be worth millions of pounds. https://news.sky.com/story/man-of-the-match-catchphrase-trademark-sold-10469445 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
