Martina Scavelli resigns as a volleyball referee for exceeding body mass index and waist size limits. These are serious criteria in the rules of the world association – discrimination with potentially fatal consequences.

February 14th was Valentine’s Day, so a good reason for the Italian Martina Scavelli to end her lengthy letter, which she had just published on social media, with the sentence: “Today I decided to love myself a little more !” The volleyball referee from the municipality of Catanzaro in Calabria had good reasons for this decision. Because what she describes in the lines above is covered and promoted by the system in sport.
