Nou nee, dat mag niet.

Een school moet een veilige plek zijn voor álle leerlingen. Dat staat ook in de wet. Het afwijzen van homoseksuele relaties geeft de boodschap dat iemand niet zichzelf mag zijn.

Dat mag niet én is ronduit schadelijk.

CDA-leider Bontenbal: religieus onderwijs mag botsen met grondrecht van gelijkheid

Dat religieuze scholen homoseksuele relaties afwijzen, is volgens CDA-leider Henri Bontenbal nu eenmaal een gevolg van de vrijheid van onderwijs. Daar wil hij niet aan tornen. "Een andere mening doet ...

Oh man, 20 riders left and Widar is isolated. No way he'll solve this by himself, either some team mates come back and control it for another two laps or Widar will not win this race. Very complicated situation they've created for themselves.

The Belgian tactic seems to be 'if we make it controlled but hard race Jarno Widar will win in the final lap' and I fully respect the guts to send 4 guys to Rwanda just to support your one favourite. Don't often see that at a World Championship.

Yeah, obviously, but if Canyon choose not to speak out against this and therefore implicitly support this use of their bikes I'm happier without one of them

Obviously a brand has a right to support and sponsor anyone they like... Just like I have a right to not buy from said brand for any reason I like and I think this is a pretty good one

I'll be in the market for buying a new cyclocross bike at the end of this winter (my current one is over the hill in multiple ways). Canyon would be near the top of the list, but I probably won't choose to buy from a brand which supports racists.

I do not get how this got past the bike checks, or how the UCI didn't notice it sooner

It does seem like public pressure is starting to work because a cycling team that stands to lose its bike sponsor if it doesn't change their name sounds like a team that is going to change their name.

Aware? Yes, sort of. It's hard to keep track of all of them unfortunately 🫠

So yeah, I'd still say Israel at the moment has more of a bad taste than UAE, but it also partly is splitting hairs over the definition of genocide so maybe we, as a sport, should be harsher on teams like UAE, Jayco, Bahrain, etc.

I'm not an expert, but as my main point is the public image part of it I think the point still stands.
We in the west just don't seem to care as much about most conflicts outside of Europe as much as we care about Israel. Surely a consequence of WWII.
