Female Chief Of Institution For Management Wants New Rules: Men Should Shut Up About Sports

A woman who is the head of a venerable institution for management in Great Britain has a new parameter she would like to see implemented in offices: reduce the time men talk about sports.

Ann Francke, the Chief Executive of the Chartered Management Institute (CMI), which was created in 1947 as the British Institute of Management (BIM), then merged with the Institution of Industrial Managers (IIM) to form the Institute of Management (IM) in 1992 and obtained a Royal Charter to become the Chartered Management Institute in 2002, told the BBC’s “Today” program, “A lot of women, in particular, feel left out. They don’t follow those sports and they don’t like either being forced to talk about them or not being included. I have nothing against sports enthusiasts or cricket fans – that’s great. But the issue is many people aren’t cricket fans,” according to the BBC.
