Class war among Japanese Olympic footballers

The Japanese Football Association (JFA) has been accused of sexism after flying it men's Olympic team on business class and the women on economy.

and this is what I find most offensive...

The JFA upgraded the men's team to business class as it has done since 1996.

They had also upgraded the women but only to premium economy. The JFA has defended its decision saying the business class seats for the men is recognition of their professional status.

What a total poor attempt at spin. They are off to the Olympics which is traditionally an amateur event and the honor representing your country. To segregate the players based on gender is outrageous. Treat them both the same - same sport, same country, same Olympics. If you can't afford Beautiful Class for both teams, then they all have to go into Premium Economy.

This is just poor especially as the Women have a much higher chance of a medal than the men.

Yeah, a pretty rubbish way to treat the world champion womens football team. TIJ.

Ya that is pretty stupid. They probably do the same for the volleyball teams too... The women should get First Class cause they are putting Japan on the leaderboards... but TIJ.

I don't think the women here are asking for special treatment, just the same treatment for all.

Same sport, same country, same plane, same destination yet a different class.

But as I said, I am more angered by the lame excuses by the spin doctors.

The spirit of the Olympics is supposed to be a level playing arena for the glory of sport to break down the barriers of prejudice etc etc etc...

The same treatment was given to the Australian Women's basketball team.

The Opals are also previous World Champions and Commonwealth Games Gold Medal winners but they have to ride in Premium economy but the mens team (who have never earned a sausage) get to go in Beautiful class. It is all about funding they claim.

Sorry I am all worked up about this at the moment. I think I need to have a good lie down.

I like what Sawa said, maybe if we win they will let us use business class on the way home. At least the girl has a sense of humor. But this is really stupid, put them both in business class or both in economy. I remember when Troussier was the national team coach, and he complained that the mens team would never win, as the players were more interested in their fashion, hair styles and their Louis Vuitton bags, than the soccer they were playing.
I don't think the ladies are the same, hence they are champions!

Regardless of whatever gender they are, I struggle to have much sympathy for pampered, spoiled fucks who are paid (often at taxpayers' expense) to run around in circles, sometimes throwing things, pulling things, riding horses or grabbing at crotches or thereabouts to perpetuate one of the most corrupt, exploitative, hypocritical movements on the planet (just behind Disney).

This got me thinking...what happens if a bird gets a first-class trip and then fails a gender test? Will they have to introduce doping tests to decide on plane tickets?

Got me thinking again...Most of the members of Neanderthal Japan, the cuntry's women's soccer team, could pass as blokes anyway.

Really got me thinking....I've got to stop thinking.

SDH - you really HAVE to learn how to form an opinion.

So, when the women's soccer team are actually blokes, and the men's team sissies, we have here a case of positive discrimination, methinks?

Plus the men probably dress more like girls than the girls do... probably some confusion between the two?

Welcome to Japan....and then you consider what GG posted, and you SHOULD laugh the next time a J-d00d asks you why Japanese can't be charisma men outside Japan (except in impoverished cuntries)
