Det är klart att man kan sympatisera med Ståhl och diskusgänget, men de gör också sig själva löjliga genom att sakna proportioner i det öppna brevet.
Citat:
We have heard you say that ´´something has do be done´´. Again, it is not your mission to destroy certain events and discriminate between events and athletes, this is not what you are elected to do. To quote Greta Thunberg, the 16 year old climate activist from Sweden: " How dare you continue to look away and come here saying that you are doing enough... you are failing us". In the spirit of the young activist we call for a Global Protest against your decision. "The eyes of future generations are upon you. If you chose to fail us, .....we will never forgive you".
Thunbergs tal handlade om att rädda civilisationen, men visst, frågan om civilisation eller undergång har ju ungefär samma tyngd som frågan om diskuskastande inom eller utanför Diamond League...
