The Premier League on Monday, November 11 declared their support for United Kingdom's Rainbow Laces campaign. The campaign aims to be a channel through which people from all over the world show their support for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender (LGBT) people.
Athletes in different disciplines show their support for LGBT individuals by wearing the rainbow-coloured laces during matches. The end game is to make every individual feel welcome in the sport.
"Whether we're cheering or competing, we are all at our best when we feel part of the team. But 4 in 10 LGBT people don't think sport is welcoming. Sport has an amazing power to bring people together. Following and taking part can give us community, energy and a sense of belonging. That's why we all need to play our part to make sport everyone's game," said Stonewall, the organisers of the Rainbow laces campaign.
