The Japan Amateur Boxing Federation has announced that it has sent a letter requesting corrections on the TBS program broadcast on the 8th of this month, saying that it made statements that seemed to despise women and the boxing competition.
This was revealed by Sadanobu Uchida, chairman of the Japan Boxing Federation, at the debriefing session of the Japanese boxing team at the Tokyo Olympics held on the 11th.
In writing, in the TBS news program "Sunday Morning" broadcast on the 8th of this month, former professional baseball player Isao Harimoto protested and corrected the statement that made him think that he looked down on the boxing competition with women. I am asking.
The document was sent to TBS on the 10th, and Chairman Uchida said, "I issued a protest statement in the sense that I do not want to be misunderstood for boxing lovers and female boxers. We are actively promoting women to the boarding and executive positions. We hope that they will understand boxing and convey the joy and values of sports. "
TBS commented that it had received a letter from the federation and said, "We would like to respond sincerely in the future."
