Jastrzębski Węgiel remains PlusLiga leader after defeating Czarni Radom and is on the right track to finish the first round of matches in first place in the table. Wards of Marcelo Mendez represent not only a high sports class, but also participate in social events, in one of which they supported women.
In Matchday 14 of the PlusLiga, Jastrzebski Wengel beat Charny Radom in three sets and remains top of the table with a two-point lead over Aluron CMC Warta Zawiercie. The players of Marcelo Mendez on Tuesday evening confirmed their class not only on the court, because they took part in a social action during the match with the “blacks”.
Groom and Popivchak supported women
Volleyball players of the vice-champion of Poland, including representatives of the country Tomasz Fornal and Jakub Popivchak, played with white ribbons pinned to the match jerseys. All as part of the White Ribbon Campaign to raise awareness and support action against violence against women, and to promote male role models who “do not offend, but protect.”
As Popivchak noted, it is a duty for the players to participate in this kind of activity, because violence is never right, especially against women. “I believe that as a person and as a man, each of us has a duty to protect women. As a rule, these are the best and most important people in our lives. Discrimination, violence, hatred, everything that we associate with this is bad, negative and should not happen anywhere in life, the libero noted.
The aforementioned “White Ribbon” campaign is an international action, and the responsibility for its creation lies with the men to whom it is addressed. “White ribbons were first worn by men from Canada, who in 1991 decided to honor the memory of 14 female students who were killed on December 6, 1989 in the building of the Technical University in Montreal. The attacker, a 25-year-old man, believed that women should not study at the faculties of natural sciences, technologies. the organizers said.
