“Excellence, respect, friendship”: Why hijab bans in French sports defy Olympic values and human rights Why hijab bans in French sports defy Olympic values and human rights
The three values of Olympism are excellence, respect and friendship. To honour these, the host country France must lift bans on wearing hijabs in sports.
Religions in general are not a symbol but actual oppression and not just women but people in general.
That said, have you ever seen anyone at the olympics wearing a cross? I don't recall. Definitely not as visible as a hijab though. Likely already banned for safety reasons (that's definitely a thing for football, not sure about other sports).
Very happy this is getting downvoted. This way of thinking is typical for the perceived moral and cultural superiority by some westerners. I don’t get it, what are these women taking away from you that makes you patronize them so hard? Like, are you telling me that every single woman wearing the hijab is oppressed? That is, ignoring the fact that the vast majority of Muslims isn’t Arab and that in many Arab countries women actually don’t wear it.
