No it isn’t. Why on earth should any woman need to cover her hair while she is running? Who is she showing modesty to?https://twitter.com/basialcummings/status/1100679039164051456 …

Ok so no issue with protesters stopping right wing speakers at universities? 'Right wingers have a right to free speech but don't have a right to require universities to give them a platform.'

Were Decathalon FORCED to sell it?
-
I’m sure Decathalon simply saw this as an untapped market they could make money from.
-
That's what I was interested to find out. I suspect you were right and ot was an entirely commercial decision.

The thing is most people who object don’t know the difference between a Hejab - a scarf covering the hair, a Niqab - a mask covering the face and a Burka - a full body cloak. Most of them don’t really care though, because at heart they are anti Muslim, not pro female athlete.
-
Yep, indeed many don't even know the difference between the various Muslim head coverings and a Sikh turban, despite them being two completely different religions.
-
“Islam isn’t a race” - while technically factual - is really just a get out clause for modern day racists IMO.
-
I agree with this BUT those who are not racist and have legitimate criticism of religion are now lumped in with the racists. So the tricky part becomes deciphering from the racists and the non racist arguments against religion.
-
Absolutely, though I think you can usually tell the difference without too much difficulty.

Who is requiring the company to sell them? As far as I can see the company decided to sell them and then were harassed and bullied until they changed their minds. Hardly freedom of expression or freedom to run your business how you want.
