Insightful and thoughtful article about the whole debacle. It focuses on how gender is always already racialised and classed, and how we can't move forward until we understand that we're dealing with capitalism, colonialism, and racism all at once.

The term #AAPI refers to diverse and expansive communities of people with a wide range of ethnicities, cultures, traditions, and more. But 2 common themes impact AAPI people across sports: 1. They are grossly underrepresented.  2. Racist stereotypes have significantly limited sports participation in the past and present. It's important to uplift the voices and stories of #AAPI athletes, coaches, and administrators, in order to develop policies that reflect their needs and create more opportunities to participate. Here are some of those stories: https://lnkd.in/euTFgweQ https://lnkd.in/efdKspVn https://lnkd.in/eBsfEfnF

Fundamentally and philosophically, this is the insane consequence of a global culture which has not only rejected but has disingenuously dismissed the Judeo-Christian worldview of true sexuality and the joyful freedom that results from its boundaries and practice. In addition, we live in a human culture that has overall rejected even the idea of absolute truth and morality. Right is “wrong” and wrong is “right”…in fact, there is no right or wrong…only one’s subjective opinion. This is no small observation. It has consequences- and Ike is those consequences is the insane premises of the Olympic committee to allow a MAN to cause unjustifiable injury to WOMEN in a sport that requires gender equity and equality. The audacity of this MALE BOXER in now attempting litigation to defend his “rights” is the surreal testimony of a culture gone rogue and dangerously steeped in arrogance. God help us ! And God help any woman who wants to compete fairly in such sporting events. The Olympic committee should resign in shame ! Rev. Timothy J. Mercaldo https://lnkd.in/eMfXhWwf

Let's talk about inclusion of Intersex people in sports. #intersexkenyaeducationandadvocacy #intersexrightsarehumanstoo

Sport is not always just about sport. As the insightful and revealing interview with Usman Khawaja shows, sometimes it's about who is allowed to be part of our national identity. When non-white faces are missing from elite sporting teams those same faces aren't seen as part of the national identity. That structural racism in turn gives license to interpersonal racism, across all levels of sport from community to elite. Hence representation of racialised folks at elite sport shouldn't be reduced to notions of diversity and inclusion, but instead expand our understanding of what it is to be Australian. https://lnkd.in/gU4gf_bA

We are #UMNMorrisProud to observe National Girls and Women in Sports Day on Feb. 7. Title IX was a public law passed in 1972 that completely changed the women’s narrative in sports. The legislation called for equal participation of everyone in all the programs and activities that were federally funded, which meant all public schools would ensure equitable sports opportunities to the students, regardless of their gender. Title IX was a breakthrough in women’s sports. Before this, only one in 27 girls had access to sports activities. But, today, that statistic has improved to two in five girls. #NGWSD #RollCougs https://lnkd.in/g8CrHDqh
