Motion text

That this House recognises the brilliance of the Lionesses’ goalkeeper Mary Earps; notes that Nike chose not to produce a replica shirt for England’s keeper, which has been criticised as shameful, hurtful and devaluing the role that the keeper plays in women’s football; and calls on Nike to reverse this decision and to put on sale Earps’ replica goalkeeper shirt, so that girls who were inspired by the FIFA Women’s World Cup and who want to play in goal feel that their role is as important as that of an outfield player.
