Ive noticed this new change this season in the premier league, perhaps it was there last year as well but if it was i didnt notice it.
Can someone tell me what the issue was with 'man of the match'? |

Player of the match is used across men's and women's football because the same term can be used for any gender. A bit like "referee" or "goalkeeper". It maintains consistency across the sport of football. |

Not really comparable to be honest. Referee and goalkeeper are specific roles on the pitch and were never gendered.
Man of the match was. Because its men on the pitch. In mens football. What was the problem with maintaining that? |

I didn't make the decision. So don't shoot the messenger.
I can tell you that "player of the match" has been used in women's football since as long as I can remember (which is since I was a child).
Does it change the fact that the best player during a particular match gets a pat on the back, sometimes a prize? |

No problem but a gender neutral term is not exactly trampling all over the sport. NBA has used MVP for years - it's just a change for the sake of inclusion and all the woke, leftie snowflakes at Sky who hounded out Richard Keys and Andy Gray are loving it  |

Nope it doesnt, just seems yet another unnecessary change. Like we're all trying to pretend that men and women dont exist anymore. Or to mention either is now a sin |
