RE: Complementing the Emperor on the New Clothes
I don't understand how you can even combine sport and culture into one ministry! But this must have been the shortest posting of any politician anywhere: June 7. to June 13. 2018!
There is a example however from my university days in Canada that sort of worked: short of space at that time (until a new center for the arts was built) the art department shared space with the jocks in the field house. We actually got along great together. Art students even took classes (like anatomy) in PhysEd, and the jocks posed for us in figure drawing class (all of a sudden all the female students at the U wanted to take art classes, haha).
Haha yeah, not even a full week.
P.S: At least in your university it was temporary and it was for a logical reason (a new center getting built) but these guys combine culture and sport together on a permanent basis :P
it was actually a Greek ideal in antiquity, and art was part of the modern day Olympics at the beginning - Art competitions at the Olympics
I think mutual hostilities are misplaced - in sport as in art it is only a small percentage that even make money, and smaller still the millionaires among them. It should really be the aim of such a ministry to help level the playing field in either disciplines (if one thinks to combine them in one makes sense).
