New text for the Olympic Oath’s: 

According to the IOC Press Release, each Oath will now be taken by both and male and female representative as well.

next, IOC will "advise" parents to only give birth to twins (1 boy , 1 girl) . giving birth to a boy is against gender equality.

 

Bach really feels like he is the king of the universe. he can order whatever he wants.

Gender equality? Let's not kid ourselves. Men's rhythmic gymnastics and synchronized swimming haven't been added yet...

To be fair, personally I do not find it as bad. A oath with 1 male and 1 female is ok. I think this should have been used much earlier.

 

In other hand I do not agree with the "forcing" M+W flagbearer thing, the NOC should have the right to decide itself who, how many and why they want to pick as their flagbearer(s)

Where is the equality when an oath about fair-play taken by a man apparently does not imply women, and vice versa? Men and women somehow have different fair-play standards or what?

 

What's next? Tennis matches having a male and a female head umpire?

no, I meant a M as representing male athletes and a W representing all female ahletes. that is. I do not see anything wrong in this, really
