"Never say Never !"

Inglês Reading Speaking Listening Writing

Many people have already listened or read this quote or title before : "Never Say Never !"

It could be a reference to a 007 film,the name of a popular charter yatch ,some  love songs,several novels, TV series or simply a reaction of someone telling his or her friend not to "rule out the possibilities and keep dreaming about his new "crazy " ideas or future projects !

 

 

 

By the way,several years ago some women wanted to compete and participate in sports which only men were allowed to.They've never given up their dreams and projects to be winners . They have been able to change some rules and get their prizes and recognition ( despite too many  nasty prejudiced answers ,behaviors and statements such as :" Women can never be in these championships!" or " Women cannot challenge men in these sports!".

 You've probably remember or read about what Dana White(the UFC president)has said for years ,when reporters asked him about the possibility of bringing women into the Octagon to fight in the Ultimate Fighting Championship .Haven't you ? Then click on the link below to check why Mr.White had to change his mind,ok?

Well,there was also another woman who faced this pejudice bravely.Billy Jean King has never taken "never" for an answer !You can get more information about Ms.King if you watch the video below. This video is from  a recent film based on this famous tennis player's true story.

The Battle of The Sexes which is starred by Emma Stone and Steve Carrel  shows how hard it was for Billie Jean King to challenge and beat Bobby Riggs and his prejudices against women in the seventies.

 

Have you watched it yet ? If you haven't ,do not miss : The Battle of Sexes ! It is really a great production.
