SPORT DESERVES BETTER


Sport deserves better.
Playing sport is great. It helps you to grow both physically and mentally and provides a pathway to friendship and community.
But when BBC film crews are imprisoned for reporting the abuse of migrant workers building infrastructure in Qatar for the football world cup
And when athletes have to take medication to avoid the health risks of sailing and rowing at venues in Brazil for the Olympics because of raw sewage in local harbours and rivers.
Even down to the sport clothes we all wear. Made from plastics and manufactured by exploiting predominantly young female textile workers.. You can’t even wash your sports clothes without causing toxic pollution to humans and the environment from microfibres.
There must be a better way for sport than this.
ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
