[NetBehaviour] Women's soccer - protest the playing conditions!

[Johannes Birringer]

agreed, its disgraceful and awful. I watched some games and enjoyed them, but not
the forcing of players to play on artificial turf. Injury risks are much higher. Certainly FIFA would not ask men to play on 
the surface. The german goalkeeper, Angerer,  tried to sue them but without success. The whole "world
organizations" and national sports agencies in many sports seem corrupt to me. awful.

Does anyone else feel a sense of outrage at Canada's decision to have the
Women's Soccer World Cup (FIFA) on a turf surface covered with rubber 'gravel'?
This might seem minor - but shoes are melting, women are being injured. Men
don't have to do this - and there have been numerous protests by the players -
but FIFA continues its discrimination against women. Not only are the women
subjected to literally bleeding bruises, but they're breathing in the rubber,
which also gets embedded in the skin. If you have a chance, watch some slomo
and see the rubber kicked up into the players' faces. It's horrible, wrenching,
and no one outside of soccer seems to care. It's an outrage to treat anyone
like this!
