Oh no Rebecca Wilson, not again.

So Rebecca Wilson has decided to leave as in no doubt to her, at best ignorance possibly something much worse.  I wasn't able to write anything about her previous article about football because i was so shocked about it's many inaccuracies and deliberately provocative nature of it. However it did prepare me for another article of it's kind which Rebbecca Wilson provided as the other day.

Ok so lets begin, Rebecca Wilson wrote "A beaming Federal Sport Minister, Kate Ellis", "She was looking very pleased with herself".  If your job is all to do with sport as Kate Ellis's is and your at the press conference to announce the beginning of the process that could lead to your country hosting the biggest sporting event in the world i think your entitled and can be justified in looking happy and smiling.

She also wrote  "If Australia is awarded the event (and the early money suggests we are long shots)".  Well at least by bidding were long shots, that still means we have a chance.  If we didn't bid we would be no shots, and have no chance.  You have to be in it to win it.

Next it was "Staging a World Cup would give soccer bosses the right to trumpet to all of us that this is the only world game".  Firstly that's not possible since Australia doesn't have soccer bosses, I think she meant football bosses.  Football fans in Australia all ready have the right to 'trumpet' that football's the only world game since that is actually the case.  A lot of people involved with football in Australia have already been saying this for a long time.  It just seems to be many people involved with sports media in Australia are ignorant of this fact or choice to ignore it for their own personal agenda.

Then come "the terrible A-league".  Does Rebecca Wilson have any professional expertise that helped her make this judgement?  What method of analysis did she use to come to this conclusion about the A-league?  Oh that's right it's just her opinion, just one woman's uninformed opinion.

After that it was "Our swimmers brought home the bulk of the 14 Olympic gold medals won in Beijing.  But appeals for increased funding for the next four years have fallen on deaf ears"  Firstly i like to say what a great effort was by our swimmers in Beijing.  However it's fairly easy to be successful in a small sport globally which only a few sports take seriously.  It's small appeal globally could also be a reason why swimming is not receiving a funding boost.

Finally "rival football and sports bosses have every right to feel miffed about the handout" in their professional roles this is understandable however you would hope as proud Australian's they would realise the great benefits the World Cup would bring to Australia.  Unfortunately it appears as evidenced by her latest 'article' Rebecca Wilson doesn't realise this, or worse still doesn't wish to see the benefits the World Cup would provide coast to coast of this great nation.
