[QUOTE="ncurd, post: 1059263, member: 72205"] Out of the sports I follow (and Football) the most Rugby really does feel like the one that paid it lip service and carried on like normal. I think the other sports just had high profile people putting th efoot forward. Cricket was about the only international sport going at the time so was under the most scrutiny after the video with Rainford-Brent/Holding they had to be seen doing something. They since taken allegation and possible impropriety very seriously. Robinson being rightly suspended and then reinstated once it was clearly it wasn't existing issue. F1 well they tried to screw it up but with its most high profile driver being a PoC it was hard to ignore especially when they didn't have a coherent message at the start. I also think it shocked Hamilton into some level of what his legacy on the sport should be other than being one of the all time greats. They do appear to talk and be taking things seriously on representation standpoint. If they'd stop going to races in dodgy places that would great. Football is well documented and I think in the end they won out on their efforts during the Euro's. [/QUOTE]
