In her opening statement she says "global sport" instead of "sports", so no.

This OP feels like the 80's. Good ole days of passive sexism.

Well I would like to use this opportunity to go on the record to say the following: 1) I support equal pay for equal work
2) I oppose affirmative action
3) I don’t believe that a woman’s place is in the home, especially given the fact that my wife is currently the breadwinner in the family and has been for the past 17 years
4) in my household I don’t mind the women taking out the garbage.
Also It is my personal belief that women indoor pain much better than men, and on the whole they are the stronger sex in every way other than physical beef
On the other hand I still use terms like “pussy” And phrases like “get your vaginas out of the sand”“How does it feel to be the greatest guitarist in the world? I don’t know, go ask Rory Gallagher”. — Jimi Hendrix

Sarah Lewis: Is she up to the task of POTFIS?
I totally agree that the first sentence of the OP is fact. I can also acknowledge that the title itself is not problematic. I can even appreciate your intentions weren’t malicious.
My comments were to address the frustration you felt that people were being reactionary. Separately and distinctly those sentences were not inherently decisive and I would agree that parsing the title, by itself, might be looking too hard for grievance.
But the craft and structure you used creates context which some reasonable people could infer as sexist.
I think more troubling is the inability to admit any imperfection or own any mistake, however unintentional. Rather, the (perhaps unintentional) implication is doubled down on and causes all actors to retreat to their silos and hurl unproductive comments. This observation goes well beyond this single thread and conversation.
Part of your defense was the reliance on a yahoo article that used similar rhetoric. You state that you linked your source but all I see is a Sarah-Lewis.com site that doesn’t seem to be site you are citing.
Therefore, you seem to think it is the collective’s fault that we don’t know your reference point while none is provided.
I believe you didn’t have malicious intent. I also feel that impact is very often as critical as intention. Just ask any 9-year-old that gets reprimanded for hurting his little sister and protests with, “I didn’t mean to!”
I do think there is a place for vulnerability and to demonstrate growth or accountability by validating feedback that might not reflect our best selves.

Why do you think Tomba would be more qualified for the desk jockey job of making phone calls?
Just come out and say your account was hacked already.j'ai des grands instants de lucididididididididi

Actually, that was said tongue in cheek. I tend to do that. Like I said before, I could have just as easily substituted the name for Vreni Schneider for Alberto Tomba
Oh wait, my account was hacked.
I don’t think that people, especially here, need to justify their posts. Certainly, I am not one to pass judgment“How does it feel to be the greatest guitarist in the world? I don’t know, go ask Rory Gallagher”. — Jimi Hendrix

This may be true, but the record reflects that that the original post was edited almost immediately and well before any comments were made.
I do realize how fragile it can be around here.“How does it feel to be the greatest guitarist in the world? I don’t know, go ask Rory Gallagher”. — Jimi Hendrix

That's not even casual sexism. That's like, fuck you, first-class, grade-A sexism with a cherry on top. And then to defend it so loudly and say everyone is "fragile"? Bravo OP. This shit's hilarious.

ARRRRR, I didn't get that. Hahaha. Funny motherfucker. One of the reasons that I love it around here.
Another reason why so many have left the board“How does it feel to be the greatest guitarist in the world? I don’t know, go ask Rory Gallagher”. — Jimi Hendrix

^^^ one of the more thoughtful and well-reasoned posts I have seen here in a while ( well done, splitter ) - and
I am here to offer support for schlinder - in my experience, he is mostly thoughtful - and
I think this thread, like more and more threads here, is being derailed by a moral (argument) - at least perceived...
My suggesstion ( -and it is Only a suggestion - ) is that schindler start a new thread that seriously addresses concerns about FIS leadership --
I did not read the yahoo article, nor sarah-lewis' website -
to me her background merits serious consideration , and clearly she is serious about her candidacy...
to me it seems an incredibly thankless job - but the world is full of thankless jobs and people who want them.
good luck... skiJ
