A 'Level Playing Field' For All

entry picture

On all female athletes, this is so unfair.

Put an end to this now, show we care.

How has Sport, allowed this disgrace.

This was surely an illegitimate race.

 

In an all-male race, he should compete.

Or is this just his way to avoid defeat?

No records broken here in my eyes.

Just a worthless ‘win’ and a hollow prize.


Sport, is not about an unfair mismatch.

Chasing an opponent, impossible to catch.

What has world of sport now come to?

A ‘level playing field’ for all, that’s my view.

 

(I appreciate this a controversial topic, which is open to debate and divide opinion. I hope it’s ok to share my opinion here, and mean no offence to others in doing so xx)
