However, ableism at this point plays different role in society. Mr. Hoddle's statement as present by Bill does not seem very honest or thoughtout, just another person in position of "perceived power " being a jerk. I don't know if British football encourages as much violence against women as North American football does . If yes, then lest add that his opinion stems from chauvinism and should not be applauded. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
