woolybanana Posted September 9, 2018 Share Posted September 9, 2018 The French ministry of Sport has just been ordered to get rid of 1600 conseillers techniques sportifs (fonctionnaires) whose job is to spread sporting excellence amongst the sports federations.What a racket, what a lovely job for retired sports people, what a waste of your and my taxes. I wonder how many comfy little rackets like this are hidden away in the various government departments and regional and departmental and grouped and simple communes?Does any country really need a ministry of Sport?

richard51 Posted September 9, 2018 Share Posted September 9, 2018 Bit like dragging out the overpaid had-beens commentating on the Great Northern Run then.Only difference is they are being paid by both private and public funds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richard51 Posted September 9, 2018 Share Posted September 9, 2018 And they probably were paid much more throughout their careers for their chosen profession.NB cant run very fast but suspect that I would be on the winning team if I played for Man U firsts against Macclesfield reserves.

Lol, naturally I ignored any UK negatives like world cup football, rugby or cricket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YCCMB Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 ???On the plus side, I'm pretty sure we could, if pushed,whap their sorry asses at cricket. Until they got the hang of it, anyway.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
