MGS A REALITY ?




Welcome welcome welcome! Its another weekend and I'm here to give you your weekly dose of Sports by FT9 . 

This week we look at Something odd -- maybe not all that odd -- abstract ? Not abstract either . 
Today we look at Mixed Gender Sports(MGS) . 



What is MGS ? Mixed Gender Sports is a natural disaster phenomenon which occurs when you put males and females together on the same pitch or court or whatever to play competitively. 


Why is MGS even a thing ?  Feminism . Feminism is a range of political movements, ideologies, and social movements that share a common goal: to define, establish, and achieve political, economic, personal, and social equality of sexes.



so yeah there you have it . Rights for equal goals is why women now want to play alongside men . Although some people  argue  that MGS is not right , others think it makes no difference including women in men sports , and truth be told they are right . 

Sporting activities like Mixed Athletics , Korfball and flying disc include both men and women ,and its great to see male and females work hand in hand to achieve a common goal.Other popular sports like football , basketball are yet to include women in the men's game . It will be great to see talents like  Lieke Martens play along side Wesley Sneijder or Depay.






Has MGS been considered for the Olympics ?  Yes! it has. The IOC  announced in June that Mixed Sports will be included in the 2020 Olympic games .


The Games will include a 4x400m mixed relay in athletics and a 4x100m medley mixed relay in swimming.
IOC president Thomas Bach said the Games will be
more youthful, more urban and include more women



Sports is a great profession and peoples lives are better because of the impact of sports one way or the other . Its time we treat sports with equality and give every one equal opportunities to reach for more regardless of their race and most importantly gender.The future of MGS looks bright , lets hope it stays that way .

Thank you for reading .I'm off to create my MGS fantasy team . Create yours and send it to FT9 sports and lets see , maybe one day we might just be lucky to see it in real life . see ya!

APPIAH RETURNS

Ghana’s favourite son is back or should I say Kotoko’s star boy is back. Judging from the poor management of Ghana’s former coach - Avram Grant, It was imperative that Ghanaian fans will turn on him . Coach Avram Grant’s stay in Ghana as the head coach of the senior side and earning close to about 250,000 cedis was seen as greedy and wicked by ordinary citizens who hardly made any income in the supposedly corrupt Government, that was sent packing in the 2016 general elections. Avram Grant left the coaching position and the Country in the first week of February,2017 after repeated speculations that he was going to be fired within that month – could say he prevented a major career disgrace! Avram Grant will surely not be missed by Ghanaians in anyway ,but one person who’s exit from the senior national side was missed by most Ghanaians in the “Don of Grant”  was Ghana’s own James Kwesi Appiah ,who managed the senior side from 2012-2014 and went into the record books as the first G...

After playing in the Champions League earlier, the Ghana international is missing from Antonio Conte’s squad for the secondary European competition. Kwadwo Asamoah will not be playing for Inter Milan in the knockout stage of the Uefa Europa League this season. The 31-year-old was excluded from the selection on Monday while Nigeria’s Victor Moses made the 22-man team for the competition. Asamoah’s last outing for the Nerazzurri was against Roma on December 6 when he came on as a 72nd-minute substitute, and since then, he has been battling to regain match fitness after recovering from a knee injury. He was an unused substituted in Inter Milan’s 2-0 win over Udinese on Sunday and featured in three Champions League games before their eventual demotion to the Europa League.
