A BETTER WAY

Sport is meant to be a healthy pursuit, we want our kids to play sport.

But there must be a better way than clothing them in plastic, where shirts contain hidden carcinogens and hormone disruptor chemicals. If that's not enough, when you come to wash these polyester shirts they each shed up to 19,000 microfibre particles, which are mistaken for food my marine life and end up in our own food chain. The oceans are being turned into a plastic smog.

I would argue leading sportswear brands have turned sport into a human and environmental wasteland.

There must be a better way forward than this.

I DON'T WANT TO GO TO CHELSEA

Chelsea has signed a new kit deal with US sportswear giant Nike.The deal is reported to be worth £60 million a season for the next 15 years.
I wonder if the young female textile workers received a pay rise?
Nike will produce strips for the first team, academy and ladies teams, as well as replica kit and clothing for the club's fans.
Like most large Premier League football clubs Chelsea is looking to expand its fan, and commercial, base into areas such as East and South East Asia, and also North America.

Is manufacturing and promoting more polyester sport shirts around the world, which shed plastic microfibre particles every time they are washed, a good idea?

Our oceans and marine life are reaching a tipping point with plastic ocean pollution.
