I heard the DUMBEST thing on the morning show this morning. One of the hosts in in Turin Italy for the Olympics and they were doing a story on why there isn't a woman's ski jump competition.
Quoting International Ski Federation president Gian Franco Kasper "It's like jumping down from, let's say, about two meters on the ground about a thousand times a year, which seems not to be appropriate for ladies from a medical point of view."
?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
Exsqueezeme?
What in f***ing bulls**t is going thru his mind and I'd like to see where he got HIS medical training (whihc I very much doubt he has). "Not appropriate from a medical point of view" was a pre-20th century way to keep women out of college and most professions, because the poor, poor women just weren't physically or mentally capable of doing any of it(don't laugh, they had "scientific studies" to prove it, along with studies to prove minorities weren't capable of any of it either).
Somebody needs to hit this guy upside the head with a clue bat and let him know this is the 21st century and women aren't buying into that BS anymore.
