LEAVING aside my own humble contribution printed on May 27, I was delighted that you allocated such a prominent spot to Alan Lester’s onslaught against ‘political correctness’ on the same date, as well as Chris Stevens’ one the following day. Unlike the latter, though, I could easily bear to dwell on a planet without football but his point remains cogent enough.
I wonder, however, how many women – especially sporty types (or stereotypes?) – would actually wish their results to be granted precedence over those of their at least numerically far superior counterparts, just as some of them consider it patronising to have doors opened for them and so on.
Still, even in this enlightened millennium, it is impossible to please everyone all the time.
