The inaugural meeting of ESEA Leaders in Sport! I wasn’t quite sure what I wanted to achieve by calling all these amazing people across sports together at @wembleystadium, but I knew it was the right thing to do! #ESEA #notalone #representation

💛❤️💙 @FSooFoundation
It was great to be at @tnsfc vs @Djurgardens_IF tonight at their @europacnfleague match. Frank managed Djurgarden IF in the 1954/55 season where they won their first @AllsvenskanSE title. Next season marks the 70th anniversary of this landmark. Thank you to @UEFA for making

My favourite sports stories aren’t really about sports. So while this might look like it’s about @Cougarmania, and rugby league, it’s really about Keighley, and how places aren’t how they’re presented by culture warriors and provocateurs https://t.co/5kfHE72TTJ

A gay couple embraced inclusion after buying an English rugby team. To their surprise, the fans bought in, too.

Great work from @alan_zp_lau and @FSooFoundation.
‼️ East and Southeast Asian abuse directed at players also impacts fans in the wider community. It's important we all recognise and report this type of discrimination when it happens. 📲 If you see it or hear it, report it. #ESEAHM24 | @FsooFoundation | @GoodVibesJohn

We are set to trial alternative coloured pitch markings this Saturday when we face @CTRLFC. Changes to the 40/20 lines are being made in an effort to identify which colours, if any, provide a more apparent contrast than red-on-green. @colourblindorg | @TheRFL

I’m glad we’re able to call out this sort of vile, reprehensible behaviour but really wish it didn’t have to be the case.
"If you wouldn't say it to your colleagues, why say it to mine" Comments on social media can go too far. @TheRFL referee Marcus Griffiths speaks about the effect receiving social media abuse had on him 👇 #TackleTheToughStuff | #SuperLeague

Thanks to @ComIntCare and fans with learning disabilities, more people will be able to understand and enjoy this year’s Challenge Cup Finals.
📚 Rugby League’s social care partner @ComIntCare has launched an accessible guide to the #ChallengeCup Finals which offers easy-to-read information and clear images about Saturday’s Men’s and Women’s finals! 🤝 Share with anyone who may need this for Saturday!

Really pleased to welcome JJB as the chair of our new Inclusion Board. Already a board observer at @TheRFL, he brings lived experience, passion and leadership to our drive towards a more inclusive game.
🏉 Jamie Jones-Buchanan is today confirmed as the new chair of Rugby League’s Inclusion Board! 🤝 The forum set up in 2021 to work alongside and challenge the RFL Executive and Board in the creation and delivery of the game’s TACKLE IT action plan!
