★ Former Prime Minister Yoshiro Mori reigns as chairman of the Olympic Organizing Committee, and the media and the Internet are making a fuss about past rants and misrepresentations, but Mori says, “The board with many women takes time. The IOC (International Olympic Committee) apologized for the remarks such as “Woman who understands” and said, “I understand that part. I hope the government will continue to make efforts toward the Tokyo Games.” I decided to attach it.

★ However, there is no criticism of Mori from the leaders of organizations such as JOC (Japanese Olympic Committee), JSPO (Japan Sports Association), and Japan Sports Agency. Those who are criticizing are those who have a normal sense other than sports organizations. The people who were listening to Mori’s remarks beside him did not blame Mori. Suffice it to say, the number of people who are bitter about the thoughts and values ​​of the forest has increased overwhelmingly in Japan, but the older the power group, the more supporters there are, rather than correcting it. In other words, it results in the connection between the idea of ​​the source of conservative politics that has continued since the Showa era and the sports world.

★ Around 2018, after the bid for the Olympics was decided, it was revealed that sexual harassment, power harassment, and violence were rampant in various sports competition groups. Possession of cannabis in sumo wrestling, assault death by masters, baseball gambling by wrestlers. Women’s judo violence, student suicide due to corporal punishment of leaders in high school club activities. University American football, wrestling power harassment, misappropriation of subsidies from the Boxing Federation, money transfer of Iaido title certification, basketball player prostitution, gymnast coach violence and gymnastics association power harassment allegations erupted.

★ Athletes must have thought that the bid for the Olympics would be an opportunity to improve their constitution. Each group has embarked on organizational reforms to establish sports integrity (nobility and dignity) in order to raise ethics. However, the constitution of the major executives could not be improved. The “Olympic Games to Overcome Corona” and the “Earthquake Reconstruction Olympics” are fine, but the exit of the forest is not final. It may be difficult to realize the Tokyo Olympics, but the lessons of the forest problem will be utilized to eliminate discrimination and to instill a dignified sports society in Japan by involving active athletes and group executives to eliminate the old discriminatory constitution. It’s the road. (K) * Honorific title omitted
