Quoting gavi: Quoting gavi: Quoting Capoeira: Quoting gavi:
I think George Orwell referred to this when he said, "Serious sport has nothing to do with fair play. It is bound up with hatred, jealousy, boastfulness, disregard of all rules and sadistic pleasure in witnessing violence. In other words, it is war minus the shooting." |
Ok Gavi, first the 'morron' comment and now the George Orwell quote.... |
did you want to change this to last post on this forum wins..............hahaha
you miss the point this was a girl a young girl at an impressionable age ready to be the next leading generation of society......... |

Somehow you lost your chance at being taken seriously when you started calling people 'morrons'. I am always sarcastic and have nothing to gain or win from a back and forth banter with you. Please go ahead and try and beat the other members to the last word. I for one am not concerned about that...there will be other threads and other posts to comment on another day.

Quoting KeithL: Quoting robyn  : as far as i know fifa banned metal spikes, it is now plastic stubs only.. |
And when they make skin contact, they still rip through skin... |
Sorry I had to add to this. Football boots have studs on them and they are made of a similar material to the base of the boot - plastic and yes they will scratch the skin or even cut the skin, when a bad tackle is made. But a scarf, you can actually choke yourself on it - bit of a difference here I think.

What utter drivel. Its so easy to come in at the end of a dicussion and be hollier than thou. I have just read the entire thread through cant see any intolerance.
This thread could have been given a topic name about the content of the article. Gavi has cried intolerance in the title and then wonders why an argument begins.

Quoting KeithL: Quoting mheart72: the rules of the FIFA doesnt exactly prohibits the wearing of hijab. What they prohibit is wearing ornaments/clothes that may pose a danger to the player itself and other players.
The girl came from Ontario and her wearing a hijab while playing is allowed. The Ontario soccer association(or whatever they call it) doesnt think it poses a danger. But then their team went to Quebec to compete in a tournament. As their is no specific rules as to the prohibition of wearing hijab it was the referee who decided and believed that its dangerous. But the coach was complaining because the team already played like 3 games on that specific tournament before the referre decided its dangerous.

Doesn't the Iranian women's team wear headscarves in FIFA competition? |

Thank you gezbelle , what a beautiful picture. This shows that you can play soccer/football with a headscarf. and they look very successful at that. I am sure each one of these atheletes are proud of their accomplishment.
