Обнаружилась новая политкорректная идиома: sportsmen and women. Имеется в виду, конечно, что корень "man" в слове sportsman подразумевает, что спортсмен обязательно мужчина, а ведь это не так: например, Рене Ричардс.

Результат душераздирающий.

"Colorado is home to world-class hunting and angling - and home to some of the most passionate and seasoned sportsmen and women in the United States." [1]

"Because sportsmen and women enjoy hunting and fishing alone or in small groups, they are overlooked as a constituency and as a substantial economic force," [2]

"Sportsmen and women enjoy celebrating the harvest of wild turkey, deer, ducks and fish." [3]
