An Indonesian sportswear manufacturer has had to
apologise for a label on its merchandise that people
deemed to be sexist. The label appeared on the shirts of
one of the country's top football clubs, Super League team
Pusamania Borneo. It read: "Washing instructions: Give this
shirt to a woman. It's her job." The company, Salvo Sports,
issued its apology on Sunday March 9th, which was
unfortunate timing as Sunday just happened to be
International Women's Day, an occasion to honour and
celebrate women's achievements around the world. The
company received a flood of complaints on social media
from people who thought the wording on the label was
highly inappropriate.
The company was quick to offer an apology and said it did
not mean to denigrate women. A Salvo Sports
spokesperson said on Twitter: "The message is simply,
instead of washing it in the wrong way, you might as well
give it to a lady because they are more capable." It added:
"There is no intention to humiliate women. In contrast, we
want to tell the men to learn from women on how to take
care of clothes." Many people felt the apology was also
sexist. On a more positive note for women, The Asian
Football Confederation (AFC) launched its inaugural AFC
Women's Football Day on Sunday. This is designed to
recognise events that develop and promote the women's
game in Asia.
