This athlete is advocating for women ski- jumping and much more.

1. No offense intended Swede, but is there any way to bring images, video, text from FB over here

without having to go to Facebook? I never had an account (well a throw-away one for my dog for about a year to which I never posted), and now it keeps demanding I register, which I am not going to do.

You post a lot of interesting content (or at least it seems as though it would be) but I'm just left frustrated... Maybe someone here has a solution for making FB text, images, video content more universally available?

2. While the video isn't at the link below

The story and the person in the video are the same.

4. Thank you, Mineral Man.

6. Though it should be noted the women's ski-jump has been in since 2014

so that article is historical.

[MineralMan]

7. Yes, thanks.

It came up again today, though, in the OP.

10. The thing is, before watching at Facebook, I took the OP as implying it still wasn't in

since it apparently is "advocated" (rather than, say, "recommended as an exciting watch" ). So those who haven't watched on Facebook might also think that.

11. That could well be. That's what I thought, at first.

But then I remembered that I had seen women on the ski jump. After searching for another source, I found that article, which made it clearer.

Time references often get slippery online, it seems.

8. Thanks

I agree with the author.
As to participation numbers, I doubt that's and issue.
The Nordic countries probably have had women doing it, sanctioned or not, for a long time.
Just those countries, the US & Canada and the number of competitors is a non-problem.
I always figured it was based on some archaic "too dangerous fir girls" thinking but causing infertility is dumber than I expected.

9. Well, men, in general, are pretty stupid when it comes to women.

We never seem to get it quite right, somehow. Of course, we also overestimate our own sturdiness. Humans. Buncha dumb animals.

3. I Have The Same Issue

There are local businesses around here that don't have a website, only an FB page.
Even if I open in a new tab, if it does allow me to continue, I can only scroll down so far on the page before the pop-up to register hits, and at that point, there is no way to close it.
And lime you, I'm not registering just to read more than the last few posts.

5. See the link in reply #3.

It contains this story and more, without FB.

12. Sorry h, I didn't see your post til now.

I don't know of a way to post facebook video, without post the facebook link.
