Teksten er et uddrag af en aviskommentar.

Few sporting occasions come more inspirational than the England Lionesses’ historic

victory at the European Championship. There is again uplifting talk of a legacy, a cultural

shift and positive social change that can come from this. But we need to admit that we

have had nights like this and talked like this before. Super Saturday at London 2012

springs to mind. 

There was lofty talk of legacies and inspiring a nation then, too. But as recent reviews of

London 2012 have shown, from Tony Blair to UK Sport performance architect Peter Keen

to the National Audit Office, we didn’t create the lasting legacy promised. It takes more

than joy, elite success and a trophy to trigger an active nation – but this is the bigger goal

we must keep in mind, long after the Wembley memories fade. 

We have form in ambitious talk about nationwide transformation and world-leading high

performance. We have become good at delivering the latter but have yet to deliver the

former. Recent reviews of London 2012 10 years on have reminded us of the promises

made but not kept. […]

The real challenge goes way beyond identifying the next generation of Lionesses. It’s

about how to ensure we reach the millions of girls and women who weren’t watching on

Sunday evening but deserve access to the benefits of a healthy, active life. […]

Government and non-government organisations are good at delivering in silos – sport

within education is part of the department of education remit, sport’s health benefits are

covered by the department of health, sport’s potential to be part of increasing life

opportunities and social mobility sits within the levelling up department, and sport itself

sits within the curious mix of the department for culture, media and sport.

Teksten er et uddrag af en roman.

It is a way I have of driving off the spleen, and regulating the circulation. Whenever I find

myself growing grim about the mouth; whenever it is a damp, drizzly November in my

soul; whenever I find myself involuntarily pausing before coffin warehouses, and bringing

up the rear of every funeral I meet; and especially whenever my hypos get such an upper

hand of me, that it requires a strong moral principle to prevent me from deliberately

stepping into the street, and methodically knocking people’s hats off – then, I account it

high time to get to sea as soon as I can. This is my substitute for pistol and ball. With a

philosophical flourish Cato throws himself upon his sword; I quietly take to the ship. There

is nothing surprising in this. If they but knew it, almost all men in their degree, some time

or other, cherish very nearly the same feelings towards the ocean with me.

Herman Melville, Moby Dick, 1851
