You are entitled to that opinion, you aren't entitled to accuse organisations of discrimination when you don't have evidence. Discrimination of any kind is illegal, positive action isn't, so in classifying it as the former you are openly accusing one or more organisations of acting illegally. You do know that if the FA's lawyers come a knocking, and that happened to another forum, we would have to provide your actual details?I don't agree with charging some people for the course and not others (based on a protected characteristic). It's as simple as that. Nothing to do with jealousy or any other fanciful or insulting suggestion. I have a simple view of life which involves the principal of treating everyone the same. Nobody should be favoured based on a protected characteristic, even if the intentions are well meaning because doing so will defeat the purpose by perpetuating animosity among groups. Equality will lead to equality without having to force the issue.
By all means say that you don't agree with positive action, I don't necessarily myself in some cases, but it absolutely is not discrimination as far as the law in England is concerned.
