"Several parts of this report have left me puzzled. Those about the alleged discrimination that women systematically face in sport. True, you do not get any women in male football teams, it is a scandal! Those about using sport as a tool to promote the European Union. Those, which are somewhat confusing, calling for total freedom of movement and establishment for athletes on the one hand, while recognising as legitimate demands made regarding the national or local composition of teams. It is true that this makes competitions a little more interesting. Those which advocate health insurance with a bonus/penalty system depending on whether or not you play sport. Now there is an idea – getting the layabouts to pay! Yet not a single word about some athletes’ salaries, astronomically high amounts which bear no relation to the social value of those being paid them, and the impact of these outrageous practices on the image of sport. There are, however, a few good ideas, but to be frank, I cannot bring myself to vote for such nonsense."@en1
