I shared on Facebook and there's a discussion w/ video etc. as a backdrop. FIFA is to blame in a LOT of ways for the denigration of woman athletes. Horrible.

agreed, its disgraceful and awful. I watched some games and enjoyed them, but not the forcing of players to play on artificial turf. Injury risks are much higher. Certainly FIFA would not ask men to play on the surface. The german goalkeeper, Angerer, tried to sue them but without success. The whole "world organizations" and national sports agencies in many sports seem corrupt to me. awful.

(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! == email archive http://sondheim.rupamsunyata.org/ web http://www.alansondheim.org / cell 718-813-3285 music: http://www.espdisk.com/alansondheim/ current text http://www.alansondheim.org/tg.txt == _______________________________________________ NetBehaviour mailing list [email protected] http://www.netbehaviour.org/mailman/listinfo/netbehaviour _______________________________________________ NetBehaviour mailing list [email protected] http://www.netbehaviour.org/mailman/listinfo/netbehaviour
