Athlete Kravchuk apologized for his words about women's football.


Ukrainian high jumper Vadym Kravchuk apologized for his words about women's football. He took responsibility for his comments on the post 'Suspilne Sport' and asks for forgiveness from all women. Kravchuk noted that most men cannot participate in competitions and training due to their responsibilities for the country's defense. He also pointed out that women now have to perform most of the men's jobs. Vadym Kravchuk stated that he is not a sexist and apologized for his offensive language.
Earlier, the women's national football team of Ukraine condemned the sexist comments of the president of the football club 'Inhulets' Oleksandr Povorozniuk. Povorozniuk claimed that he does not understand women's football and does not consider the possibility of creating a women's team, as he sees football only as entertainment with beautiful girls.
The response to Povorozniuk's statements was negatively received by many people, and in this regard, Vadym Kravchuk wrote several sexist comments. He noted that women cannot be at the same level as men in football, as women's rights are already completely free. However, it is important to understand that equality does not mean complete sameness but requires equal opportunities and rights for all.
Kravchuk's and Povorozniuk's comments have sparked a lot of discussions on Instagram. However, it is important to continue the conversation on this topic and work towards equality in sports and society.
