CHRISTINE SINCLAIR SETS ALL-TIME RECORD, WHERE'S HER RECOGNITIO­N?

-

On Wednesday, Jan. 29, 2020, Christine Sinclair, captain of the Canadian women’s soccer team, became the world’s all-time leading goal scorer in soccer with 185 goals.

This happened at the Women’s Olympic Qualifying Tournament in Edinburg, Texas.

She now leads the world in internatio­nal goals for both women and men. This is a huge accomplish­ment in any sport. No other woman or man in the entire world has scored as many internatio­nal goals. She has been named the Canada Soccer player of the decade.

The Guardian has not printed one word about this incredible accomplish­ment.

Why do they continue to ignore the accomplish­ments of female athletes?

If you have a daughter, granddaugh­ter, niece, sister or friend who is an athlete at any level, are you OK with them constantly being trivialize­d or ignored?

Maybe those of us who are fed up with such behaviour should contact the editor and demand that there be coverage for all major accomplish­ments by both

females and males.

Why do women still have to fight this archaic battle? We deserve better.

RE: FEEDBACK FROM GREEN ENERGY MISMANAGEM­ENT

Aha, feedback at last. Carol Capper's response to my writings on climate skepticism is interestin­g. (Guardian 1 Feb.)

Sadly they consist mainly of insults to me; I am denying my children a future.

Well, I had to expect it from the alarmist brigade. I am pretty thick-skinned, but I have to admit to being a little miffed to be accused of such a callous disregard of my children's future.

It's what is common in your camp, Ms. Capper, even such luminaries as David Suzuki stoop to low acts such as saying people like me should be in jail, and Australia's top alarmist Tim Flannery has likened us to child molesters.

Also, you could begin to distinguis­h between denial and skepticism. I reserve the word denial for Holocaust deniers.

Skepticism is good for us, and all I ever advocate is that people do some wide reading. When they would then discover the science is not settled.

I was once a confirmed alarmist until I did some reading. One thing that leads me away from the alarmist doctrine was the sickening moral high ground from which they speak.

Please do some reading, Ms. Capper before you go insulting people.
