Sweden Has Ombudsmen
With entirely too much time on their hands.
Sweden’s Ombudsman for Gender Equality (no, really) has called for the Swedish National World Cup team to boycott the tournament. He wants to protest against a feared rise in forced prostitution. Some European NGS’s have projected that as many as 40,000 women from Eastern Europe could be smuggled into Germany by criminal gangs.
"We should distance ourselves and say that we will not accept such a situation and for that reason we do not want to participate," the ombudsman, Claes Borgstroem, told Swedish Radio on Monday.
"It’s a good opportunity to do something effective … targeting modern-day slavery," he said.
While we here at Blue Crab Boulevard are definitely against forcing people into prostitution we also don’t think Mr. Borgstroem is playing with a full deck here. In fact, we think Mr. Borgstroem has a severe case of rectal-cranial inversion. And we mean that with all due respect.
How is having a soccer team boycott the World Cup going to do one thing for any (if there actually are any) women being forced into prostitution? (We point out here that potential projections by NGO’s have an almost universal trait of being completely wrong. All the time.)
The Swedish Ombudsman, last seen here, continue to march in the van of the lemmings. Nice work, guys.
