Oops! Were my suggestions taken as a personal admonishment? They were not intended that way at all. I write to everyone on this list with the understanding that many of us are queer academics, and most people will know more about sport than I do. That is, I write from a humble position of offering some ideas with the understanding that this is a collective effort. I think it is great that queer theory is pressed to inform policy in this area and I am very interested to see how queer theory stands up to the challenge. Maybe through this kind of issue we can mould our theoretical frameworks to be more politically effective.
