My name is Anna Hynes, a 2<sup>nd<\/sup>&nbsp;year journalism student at Newcastle University, and an aspiring sports broadcast journalist. I have chosen to create and produce a website on football in hopes to break stereotypes around the sport and make the sport more inclusive to all.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;As a lifelong Liverpool supporter, and being a female fan, I have heard one too many times \u2018So what shoe size is Messi?\u2019 or \u2018What is the name of Xavi\u2019s first daughter?\u2019- and know full well that those asking could not answer themselves. For a matter of fact the answers are size 10 and Asia- fun facts for your next pub quiz :).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;But beside the point, I appreciate and recognise that anyone at any age can become interested in football. Therefore, I will break down my news stories and opinion pieces so that all can understand and learn. Whether a new fan wanting to learn about football, or a lifelong fan wanting to discuss current issues in the sport, my journalism website has something for you.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u00a0\u00a0I believe that the way to break these stereotypes is to continue to defy them, and the more people involved in the sport the better. That is why I will interview a wide variety of people for my articles- to allow all voices to be heard. My websites Instagram <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/pitchside.passion\/\">@pitchside.passion<\/a> has open DM\u2019s so that all readers can comment and interact, and thus I can gear my articles to what you are wanting to hear and learn about. Thank you for taking the time to visit my page and read this- I hope you stick around and watch my website grow!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:16px\"><em>The work presented here&nbsp;is part of a student project.
