[UPDATED] I noticed over at Waving or Drowning, that the petition has been extended. Please go sign!
[ORIGINAL] I love football, and there are few things higher on my anticipation list that next month’s World Cup. But this sickens me.
From June 9 - July 9, 2006, 12 German cities will host the World Cup Games. Approximately 3 million football fans – mostly men – will attend. It is estimated that 40,000 women will be “imported” from Central and Eastern Europe into Germany to “sexually service” the men. (link)
“Imported” is a euphemism for “enslaved.” The petition closes tomorrow, so go sign it today.
