"watered the whole face of the ground" - Japanese Female Judo Players


A City around Tokyo

Japanese Female Judo Players

The All Japan Judo Federation now faces accusation of having treated female judo players badly.

It was exposed to the Media as 15 of those women wrote a letter to the Japan Olympic Committee asking for help as their appeal to the Federation had been almost neglected.

Those top judo players alleged that the head coach of the Japanese female national judo team kicked, punched, and slapped them often.  So, they wanted dismissal of him.

Now the head coach was fired and some other leaders of the Judo Federation also resigned from their posts among rising concerns in the society.

As Tokyo plans to host the 2020 Olympic Games, this incident is taken gravely by the Tokyo Government Office and the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology of Japan.

I think it is not good for people to live on Judo.  They have to also work as ordinary citizens in some decent work places, for example, in office, plants, or shops of businesses or administrative institutions.   Judo is not a means to earn salary and get social status.

There should not be professional judo players and coaches like wrestling and boxing.  They must be also, for example, workers in ordinary workplaces.

Gen 2:5 And every plant of the field before it was in the earth, and every herb of the field before it grew: for the LORD God had not caused it to rain upon the earth, and there was not a man to till the ground.
Gen 2:6 But there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole face of the ground.
