English FA warned: Reform or risk legislative intervention (The Associated Press)

The English Football Association was handed a final warning on Thursday: Reform or risk legislative intervention by the British government. British lawmakers spent two hours on Thursday debating whether the FA, the world's oldest soccer federation, was fit for purpose after criticism of its antiquated structure, lack of diversity among members, and ability to reform itself. The debate in the House of Commons concluded with British Sports Minister Tracey Crouch saying the government will consider bringing in legislation to force through change at the FA if the body doesn't follow through by April with its promises to reform.
