Yes. 237 00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:10,159 ...then the Pope, uh how shall I put this? 238 00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:12,639 Perhaps not quite so much. Right. No. 239 00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:13,999 OK, I'm going to ask this. 240 00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:16,199 He... He's meeting the Pope? Ah, yes, yes. 241 00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:17,559 I mean, what the fuck? Well, 242 00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:19,159 so they are old friends, of course. 243 00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:21,439 He's friends with the Pope?! OK, well... 244 00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:23,279 The president has many friends. He's a very friendly man. 245 00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:25,119 Fuck's sake. Right. But, Eric, 246 00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:26,959 to get into the nuts and bolts of this, 247 00:08:26,960 --> 00:08:29,519 so it's the words "gender" and "neutral" 248 00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:31,599 we're talking about here. Well, in a way, yes. 249 00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:34,399 No way. Those are the words Zurich has a problem with? 250 00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:35,639 No, no, no, no, no, 251 00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:37,359 no-one has the problem with this. 252 00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:38,959 The suggestion is simply 253 00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:42,039 that we replace the word gender and neutral 254 00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:44,799 by the single word "safe". 255 00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:46,399 Right. OK. 256 00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:48,919 Safe? As in, "The 2026 tournament 257 00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:50,799 "is a safe space." No way. 258 00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:51,839 Exactly so. Just to say, 259 00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:53,839 guys, sounds good to me. No way, right? 260 00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:55,039 And that is all. 261 00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:56,279 Like, this is not OK. 262 00:08:56,280 --> 00:08:58,760 Bueno, que saben de palabras en Zurich? No saben nada. 263 00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:03,199 Yes, so this is a very complex, very nuanced issue, clearly. 264 00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:05,559 Yeah, right. But crucially, Eric, 265 00:09:05,560 --> 00:09:06,839 we need to get something out there 266 00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:08,959 before the audience with the Pope tomorrow morning. 267 00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:11,039 AUDIO CRACKLES 268 00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:12,319 Oh, right.

Yes, he has. 270 00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:16,119 Anyway, whilst that's happening, 271 00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:17,799 this is something we cannot afford to get wrong. 272 00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:18,959 Yeah. In fact, even more than that, 273 00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:20,999 we absolutely have to get it right. 274 00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:22,919 Yeah. I've been trying to imagine that. 275 00:09:22,920 --> 00:09:24,079 It's not easy. OK. 276 00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:25,599 So legally, I'd say we're good 277 00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:27,839 with "safe space", right? Right. 278 00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:29,399 No way. Because it doesn't mean anything. 279 00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:31,239 What? Whereas gender neutral... 280 00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:33,199 What can I tell you? I mean, you're pretty much looking 281 00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:35,199 at a tornado of shit right from the get-go there. 282 00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:38,439 Right. Well...
