Darters invade Beach… but first, a FREE ANNA update!
FREE ANNA! As is now widely known, the World Darts Federation has banned Anastasia Dobromyslova from their “We want a World Championship Too” tournament. Their only semi-legitimate “defense” is that they are a member of the Alliance of Independent Members …

DISCRIMINATION!
Discrimination should NOT be celebrated, encouraged or expected. This is particularly true in sport where competitors and organizations fly the equality flag, at times to excess. Talk is cheap. Action takes willpower. Discrimination has many sides including race, color and religion – all ugly.
