We’re supporting Pride in Sport and we’d love you to GET INVOLVED!
Sponsored by EY, Pride in Sport aims to raise awareness and tackle the issues of racism, homophobia, biphobia, transphobia and sexism in sport.
In collaboration with EY and Liberate, we are committed to creating an environment where everyone feels like they belong.
It’s only when people feel truly accepted that they can perform at their best.
Racism, homophobia, biphobia, transphobia, sexism and other prejudicial language can all too often be heard within sport settings and often gets dismissed as ‘banter’. The words we use matter and make the difference between an inclusive space or one that feels exclusive and intimidating for people from minority groups.
This is why we are asking as many sports people as possible to show their support for Pride In Sport by wearing rainbow laces and sweatbands – ideally during sporting activity.
Whatever your sport, wearing your rainbow merchandise in support of Jersey Pride in Sport, demonstrates your commitment to making sport an inclusive and discrimination-free space.
