(Apologies for off-subject)
Does anyone else feel a sense of outrage at Canada's decision to have the Women's Soccer World Cup (FIFA) on a turf surface covered with rubber 'gravel'? This might seem minor - but shoes are melting, women are being injured. Men don't have to do this - and there have been numerous protests by the players - but FIFA continues its discrimination against women. Not only are the women subjected to literally bleeding bruises, but they're breathing in the rubber, which also gets embedded in the skin. If you have a chance, watch some slomo and see the rubber kicked up into the players' faces. It's horrible, wrenching, and no one outside of soccer seems to care. It's an outrage to treat anyone like this!
