blondie ueber den umgang mit den medien: "Kate also points out an important point - "it pays to remember how easily we're misunderstood". I always talk about it here, but I can't scream it from the rooftops enough. The media and the general public have preconceived stereotypes about our sport, especially women's rugby. You can never be too careful or too positive or too detailed when promoting our sport in a positive manner. Make sure that if you're explaing our sport to someone, you explain all aspects of the sport. This goes for every part of the game, including off the field at socials, etc.

If you're talking about an injury, also mention that recent studies have shown it's safer than football and ice hockey and that proper and safe playing techniques, such as tackling, are part of every practice."

klar, klischees sind einfacher, stereotypen gibt es im dutzend billiger, aber vielleicht laesst sich auf dauer doch ein sprachgebrauch finden, der dem leser unseren sport wirklich nahebringt, anstatt nur sensationslust zu befriedigen. allzuoft laesst man sachen passieren, weil man die presse nicht veraergern will, damit ueberhaupt was geschrieben wird etc.. dumdidum, da war doch was mit DRV-presseseminar?
