Muslim basketball player can't play at the Olympics

[cupcaske123]

A French basketball player who has been training in the US, has been banned from taking part in the Olympics because she wears a hijab.

There are so few Muslim women in sport, now this ban makes it impossible for those few to take part.

So that 'Diversite' bit of the opening ceremony was bullshit, wasn't it? Unless you're a man in womanface or who wants to punch women, of course...

Funny how they are happy for a convicted child rapist to compete or for a woman to be beaten up by someone with XY chromosomes on the boxing ring but can't cope with a woman wearing a hijab by choice.

As usual rules made by men for the benefit of men and the usual belief that women's appearance needs to be policed.

For some reasons, sex clowns are seen as the epitome of diversity.

But if you go into a police station, or county hall, or represent France in sport, you cannot display religious symbols.

So what happens if a Muslim woman wearing a hijab gets attacked and needs to go to the police station to report it?
Is she not allowed to go in while wearing a hijab?
So the criminal gets away with it?

If yes, how can anyone say that is okey?

What about if the same were to happen to a Jewish woman who wears a scarf or a wig?

Are they not allowed to go in and report a crime?

If you live in France you would very much be aware of the laws there
