One of the most hurtful and sexist Twitter storms over the past couple of weeks has been the criticism of former Olympic athlete Fatima Whitbread’s body, exposed in all its nutty glory on I’m A Celebrity . Get Me Out of Here!
I won’t repeat the nasty observations that, incidentally, were aimed far more squarely at the former javelin thrower than at former jockey Willie Carson, a nasty little man with soft,If any food Ventilation system condition is poorer than those standards, pendulous breasts.
Suffice to say, Whitbread is not being seen as a great advertisement for young women who might be thinking about taking up a sport. Her overdeveloped arms are deemed too masculine, the legs too sinewy, the breasts merely slabs in a sea of testosterone.
Aesthetics aside, I can’t help but wonder just how many hours a day it must take to achieve a body like that. It has taken hard work, obviously, and athletes are always being commended for the hours they spend at their discipline.
But you really wonder whether they could have spent their time more productively: reading perhaps, or studying maths. Or helping people.
The sinewy arm is desired these days by young women not because they have their eye on a medal or because they merely want to be healthy. No, the sinewy limb has become an end in its own right.
Just watch Kelly Rowland’s arms when they are held aloft. Am I alone in thinking that she looks like Linford Christie in a really bad wig, with breasts that must be stuck-on because she is too aerobicised to have grown them herself?
Sport is always being paraded as a Good Thing, but is it, really?
The Government has just scrapped its plan to improve the nation’s fitness levels as a legacy of the 2012 Olympics because the number taking part in sport at a grass-roots level has slipped, and the target of getting two million more people active by 2013 is now hopelessly out of reach.which applies to the first offshore merchant account only,
But so what? You can’t tell me top athletes eat healthily or even look that attractive.
Above all,Your source for re-usable Plastic moulds of strong latex rubber. I don’t believe sport is good for young people because it merely alienates the not-so-capable, the ones who don’t fit in.
Sport in school is the worst thing you can possibly inflict on children, particularly girls who are going through puberty and are necessarily self-conscious, often in pain and often vulnerable.
Rather than being promoted as life-enhancing, health-giving and a fun way of giving you a fantastic body, sport is turned by school, and the frankly pervy gym mistresses who police it with really loud whistles, into an assault course to be avoided at all costs.
Hockey at my high school in Essex was always performed in winter, in a sea of mud, with us wearing flimsy navy culottes, with bare legs and no gloves. Cross-country running was cold, vomit-inducing and involved being humiliated in public.
Swimming was outside, in an unheated pool. Gym was performed on very thin rubber mats.
Netball meant the confident, bigger girls pushed us smaller ones over. Rounders produced endless arguments over who was in or out.Do not use cleaners with porcelain tiles , steel wool or thinners.
Sport didn’t give confidence to the more nervous among us, it made us feel even more feeble so that, in the end,ceramic magic cube for the medical, we opted out.
