| − | Leaving aside the issue of whether it is/should be an Olympic movement sport (and technicalities on what that does and doesn't mean) I think there are some very dubious statements made under the section "politics of netball" regarding the management and thrust of the game. I note that most of that section was added by Hawkeye8, who was banned for 'moronic vandalism'. As someone who takes a passing interest in netball, I don't think much of what has been said is true, or at worst, it is the sort of criticism that could be applied to any and all sports administrators - a sports administrator wouldn't be doing their job if they didn't advance every argument they possibly could to promote the game. As such, I think the best approach will be to leave this for a week or two, I will bump it daily, and someone who wants to defend the entry can do so. Otherwise I will look to substantially revise the article, perhaps focussing more on its history and social aspects. --[[User:DamianJohn|DamianJohn]] 21:26, 23 December 2012 (EST) | + | Leaving aside the issue of whether it is/should be an Olympic movement sport (and technicalities on what that does and doesn't mean) I think there are some very dubious statements made under the section "politics of netball" regarding the management and thrust of the game.
