- Sporting Equals survey shows 78% want better monitoring
- ‘We need sport to commit to changes in policies and practice’
A survey looking into racism in British sport has found 83% of people from black and minority ethnic backgrounds have experienced discrimination in some form in the sector – with only 8% feeling the problem was resolved to their satisfaction.
The research by Sporting Equals, the UK’s leading charity for racial equality and diversity in sport, also found that while overt racist abuse was still a problem – with 37% saying they had experienced it on the pitch from an opposition player or a teammate – much of it was covert.
