Olympic rights and wrongs

Comment

"That this has been done in the name of the Olympic Games - and ­indirectly at least the ’human right’ to engage in sport - is a regrettable further manifestation of the tension between the Olympics and one of the most venerated democratic rights." The irony of the Olympic Games touting sport as a human right..... but at the same still allowing the all-male Saudi Arabian team to participate. There is no female Saudi team. The Saudi's don't think that women have a human right to sport! I think the Olympics haven't quite reached the grasping-greed-and-corruption levels of FIFA yet but they're not far behind.
