Saudis..Would you like the women in your country to be able to participate in sports such as the Olympics?

Question

Please give your honest opinion. Thank you.

Answer 1

......as much as they wanted it is impossible.....besides women here were not trained to be athletic or sporty.....they're trained to raise children and to go shopping most of the time.....

Answer 2

I honestly do think we should..

like Carl says.. the system here doesnt encourage our women to be athletic.. its sad.. cause with the modernization comes fast food and internet and we are now having an increase in female obesity..

I now see far more obese women in the past 10years than I ever have before here..

and the gym classes in elementary schools are a joke.. Im an english teacher.. I see this.. they offer 1 class (40 to 50 min) a week in gym class.. and all they do is a couple of jumping jacks.. maybe play some volley ball, thats it.. nothing strenuous at all.. and if the girls fuss and claim they are on their periods, the instructor lets them sit it out..... We need more fitness and health in our girls school and exercising every single day.... Our women can compete in the guidelines of Islam, theres nothing wrong with it.. A h ealthy person is a productive person.. in all aspects!  

Answer 3

h**l YEAH

I mean we already have our own "so unfamous teams"...secretly all-female teams by highly trained male instructors in Tae-kwando, basketball & even soccer are on the rise...they're EVERYWHRE...

& h**l WE ARE READY...

some meet weekly, others do it on holidays only..AND yes the're TALENTED...& so UNBEATABLE...

Answer 4

yes, if she can keep her Islamic look (wearing hijab)

i.e.: riding horses, shooting games or any of the sports that she doesn't need to show her body
