VANCOUVER — Canadians must demand that female ski jumpers who have been discriminated against be allowed to compete at Vancouver 2010, says provincial NDP Olympic critic Kathy Corrigan.

    Yet another non-issue over which the pols can pretend they give a shit.

    Every time a politican comes up with a moronic idea like this they ought to be docked a weeks pay.

    I I like how their harping on about rights,freedoms & discrimination but because I have a wantonly dangling wee-wee between my legs. I can't get served at a paticular pharmacy in BC.

    They can jump alright, right off a cliff.

    Maybe if the NDP wins I can get a membership to Curves Gym.

    It's time that the femnazi movement found out they can't have it both fucking ways. There are places that men and women shouldn't be together, although the ski slope isn't one of them.

    The womens movement, along with the syncophantic court system they use for their agendas, have become overbearing, obnoxious and self indulgent, they seem to think much like the socialists they seem to emulate that everyones equal, just them more than others.

    As for the IOC, they appear to still have their head stuck up their corporate ass. How can they, with a straight face, deny any athlete male or female the right to participate in their "amateur athletic" meets?

    Just because most women ski jumpers aren't up to a certain standard doesn't mean they shouldn't be allowed to compete. For fucks sake look at womens hockey. Two teams dominate and then nothing, no competition, no skill and no national desire to improve. If that doesn't match womens ski jumping then I don't know what does.

    Let them compete or better yet, let's ban women from all Olympic athletics, so the womens movement would have a valid reason to shout discrimination. Then maybe they'd come to their limited senses and understand that the presumption of equality isn't based on gender, but on basic human dignity.

    I don't watch the Olympics, but I'd tune in to watch people ski jump that don't know what they're doing. I'd RATHER see people that don't make that "certain standard" take a shot at it.

    Hey, I'm all for more opportunities to watch fit female athletes in body-hugging snow suits XD

    Seriously, I think they should be given the opportunity to compete.
