Read the conversation then answer the questions that follow
Kiprop :There’s still a lot of sexism in football. Why cant the Kenya Football Federation let
Filomena play in the Premier League?
Yano: Oh, come off it, Kiprop. KFF has nothing to do with the Filomena’s case. She can’t
play in Premier League because she doesn’t belong to any team in the league, simple.
Steward: But, excuse me, Yano Filomena doesn’t belong to a team because KFF wouldn’t let
her join one. Moreover ………………..
Yano: Just a moment, Steward. You know quite well that the teams in the Premier League
are all men’s teams. How were they going to enroll Filomenha?
Kiprop: Four enough, that’s the point I’m making. Why should the teams be exclusively
male? Why can’t a super player like Filomenha…..
Yano: Sorry for the interruption, Kiprop. But evenly sport has its rules and in football there
are no provisions for mixed male and female teams
Steward: I thought Gor Mahia Foot ball Club wanted to…..
Kiprop : Why can’t they change the outdated rules? Sorry Steward. You were saying
something.
Steward: Well, I was just going to say Gor Mahia, “Kogalo’ had wanted to consider
Filomenha’s application to join them, but KFF told them to consult FIFA first
