Nicole Cooke on sexism

[walesonline]

"As the sexist attitudes of the time dictated, most sporting journalists wrote about the male first, then the female – if there was any space left."

"The women had suspected that something was amiss for some time, as they could see the attention that the men’s squad was receiving, while they were practically ignored."

Strong stuff from Nicole in her book launch.

Wow, if it's bad enough for even Nicole Cooke to complain...

Good luck to her. Given what she's able to list about the last ten years, I wonder if in that time any professional sport in the world has allowed such a regression in how it supports female competition in quite the way cycling has.
