Do not take away from the girls their sportdrömmar

"Do not take away from the girls their sportdrömmar"

"Förortstjejer sports least of all. No one knows exactly why, but they do not get the permission from home is a statement. "

"And now have some of our top footballers killed another few småflickors sportdrömmar. "

"Idrottssverige has a wonderful self-image. It is iridescent simborgarmärken. It is Zlatan. There are slogans such as ”let's all play sports”. The idea of that via the democratic grass fields and klubbstugor can become one of us – sporty, healthy, and Swedish. "

"But so will pop a picture up on a girl in light purple hijab, who practice shooting. And suddenly the sports movement's top dog there and accuse the child, to promote genital mutilation and terrorism. "

"Yes, it sounds like trollkommentarer in the convoluted facebook groups, but are, therefore, official statements from, for example, sweden's national chairman Björn Eriksson, who espouse the absurd view that it is only okay with the images of muslim women if they are basketball players. While Ulla Gustavsson from the Swedish swimming federation straight out claim that a veil means that you ”like violence”. "

"That the girl in the controversial photo, testing the male-dominated, predominantly white sport shooting during a try-on-day, that she concentrated aiming with the luftgeväret and is located next to a blonde guy, doesn't matter. "

"In fact, would a hedersvåldsutsatt girl may even be prevented from ever being on such a picture. "

"It do not play any role. "

"the Picture is now removed, because the game does not want to ”provoke”. "

"And one can ask how the young hijabklädda girls who dream to become a new Sarah Sjöström, or the best in shooting sports, or join in, what do I know, curlingförbundet, will interpret it. "

"Sure you can have different opinions of it simply goes to buy a bomullshijab in size 2-10 years at the Swedish beauty shops. The rasas are often around other children's clothing – over to treåringar must bathe in a bikini, or to clothing companies drown little girls in urringat pink tulle. "

"But the debate is hardly the best in the hockeyrinkar or swimming pools, so long as paltorna not in the way when to make the goal. It shows not the least idrottsledarnas total ignorance in the matter. "

"Rather should the sports movement have a discussion about why only 12 percent of the segregated rose farm girls in their lovely, inclusive sports clubs. Against 60 per cent in the affluent Bromma or Sweden. "
