Questions
What do you call a physical injustice?
Anything done to a body against its will: violence, beatings, sexual abuse, police brutality, hazing, dangerous training, forced doping, medical neglect, work that destroys the body.
Why sport first?
Because that is where the body is most exposed and least defended: young athletes, closed locker rooms, federations that cover it up. Sport is our main fight, but every physical injustice is welcome.
Can I stay anonymous?
Yes. Leave the name field empty and your publication appears as “Anonymous”.
