Any sport whose governing body objectifies its participants in this way is not being properly governed and is probably making more money from attracting sponsors than is healthy, and paying more attention to that than to the welfare of players or the health of the sport. Maybe it’s time players and national organisations seceded from the international governing bodies and set up an alternative.
