?Positive? Discrimination is Putting Lives at Risk Mon Apr 28, 2025 13:00 | Daniel Fessahaye
There is no such thing as 'positive' discrimination. And when it creeps into life-or-death professions like policing or flying a plane, it stops being merely unjust. It becomes dangerous, says Daniel Fessahaye.

Jump To Comment: 4 3 2 1At a Clare Shell to Sea Meeting appreciation was expressed for the action of the Valley Players who gave up their place in the Statoil sponsored tournament. It was accompanied by a loud bout of hand clapping. Statoil critcs from Norway are visiting Ireland this coming week and will be in Rossport. Provision to introduce the team to them should be made and we would like to have them lead rallies whenever and maybe come to Dublin to help out with tha Statoil protests on the Norwegian embassy.
There is a long tradition of sports boycotts- from the GAA refusing to let crown forces play to the sports ban on Aparthied South Africa. It's a recognised and legitimate form of protest. Fair play to this team for not accepting money from a company which wants to buy positive associations while destroying the environment of Mayo.
What sort of fool are you
this is old boot , story broke sometime last month .
sport is ment to unite . politics and sport do not and should not mix
would it not be better for that team to participate in the competion and bring traveling support which could also highlight the protest with shell/statoil, remember teams in this competion are from small villages and towns would this not be a better avenue to go down ???
If your so anti shell/statoil why dont you boycott all goods which use byprducts which are manafactured from oil , then again what would you do with out your
NYLON Y FRONTS AND YOUR ANORAK .
It takes guts to disengage from something you've being training up for, like the FAI Junior Cup. It would be an interesting exercise to look at other events sponsored by Shell/Statoil and see how many people are willing to do likewise...
