How Inclusive is Football?

As part of LGBT+ History Month, Sportshour presenter Caroline Barker is joined by a panel of guests from the football community to discuss how inclusive, or not, the sport really is and what can and is being done to address those areas where it falls short. We’ll also hear from Caitlin Rooskrantz, the first person of colour to be selected for South Africa’s Olympic gymnastics team. As part of Black History Month across the BBC World Service, Caitlin describes her route into the sport and why – on the day of what would have been her Olympic final last summer – she performed a routine that was streamed across the country.As the Great Britain men’s basketball team celebrates a rare success – qualifying for the EuroBasket finals – Caroline speaks to Teddy Okereafor. Teddy reflects on equalling the team’s record for consecutive appearances, a mark which had stood for 45 years. He discusses the lows and the current highs of the team, as well as how a walk through a Newham park with his Mother set him on course for everything that’s happened since, and his Mum – Natasha Hart – on the pathway to an MBE.Photo: A banner of former footballer Justin Fashanu is seen draped across the seats at Carrow Road, Norwich City's home ground.
