1. Anneau-de-Saturne,
together we can defend the French Showdown, and more broadly the visually impaired sports by signing and spreading this petition
french Showdown needs your support
If one day, the French Judo players who are making great in the whole world had been deprived of international competitions,the level would worsen, the number of licenced players would decrease, and the structures taking care of this diciplin would collapse. You would thus find such a decision simply unjust. Then, we would say that by its reluctance to recognize the showdown as a competition sport, the French HandisportsFederation is fastening its death and disappearence in France.
We, Members of the French Union of Showdown, deplore this decision and fin dit simply not justified. The showdown is recognized at the international level as a competition sport by the International Blind Sports Assemblee IBSA, an instance which the French Handysports Federation is part of. Despite that, the French Federation refuses to recognize this deciplin as a competition sport, which will deprive our players of participating in the European Championship of Showdown which will take place in Italy from the 19th to the 25th of september 2016. Thus we would like to express ou ranger against this VETO because it denies all the physical, financial, and structural efforts of our players, structures, coaches, referees, volunteers, etc. It will not only make our French players lose their excellent ranks at the international level, but also put an end to the practice of the Showdown in France unfortunately.
We are thus calling for the support of everyone of you, and have chosen this period as the paralympics are going on, because we believe that you share with us the belief that a sport is no longer as such if it is not practiced in competition.
We really hope you to be numerous to sign this petition in order to show to the French Ha ndysports Federation that the French Showdown still has a wonderful and promissing future.
