I have to admit that this report already has one merit: it amused me. The title, ‘Women and Sport’, might itself have been confusing, but the content is entirely beyond comprehension! I have read and reread this crazy report and I have still not grasped the ins and outs of it.
I did pick out some classic passages, on access to sport as a fundamental right, on sport as a highly sexual and stereotyped area where the dominant models of virility and femininity are reproduced but also broken, and on socially discriminatory and sexually stereotyped treatment by the media, which leave us speechless.
But no, I can definitely find no justification for this report other than enabling an MEP to indulge in a style exercise that is worthy of the greatest humorists, So after ‘Women and Sport’ roll on a report on ‘Sport and sexual minorities’!
Who was it who said that ‘in politics, talking without saying anything and not saying anything for the sake of talking are the two major principles of those who would be better to keep their mouths closed’?"@en1
