It is time people were assessed for jobs on their ability alone, and not derided because of their colour, religion or gender.


Oh come on. Lighten up will you. We're not talkin' about racism here. That's a totally different ball game.

If a geezer was there judging a knitting competition for the wimmins circle or summat, I'm sure all the owld biddies would be making derogatory comments about his abilty to be knowledgeable enough about drop stichin' or whatever it's called. whistle

But, er, that's the thing. It isn't a different ball game to racism. It's basically the same thing. Discrimination based on completely irrelevant things.

I mean, your knitting example? That's like defending racism on the basis that black guys would probably make derogatory comments about a white guy's ability to limbo. Come on.

a few years ago a female tried to sign for a mexican club, they trialled her before deciding not to sign her.

can you imagine if a man had tried to sign for a womans football team??

did we cry when they invented Womens football..just for women?

no..we didnt

cant we just have one thing to ourselves?

See, the difference there is, the physical differences between men and women are relevant at the highest level of competition. That's why we have women's sports. We don't segregate them 'just because'.

Whereas, the physical differences between men and women are not relevant to running the line. Has brain? Check. Capable of seeing? Check. Capable of jogging? Check. Capable of lifting a flag? Check.
