Culture change is required to prevent more people being subject to this kind of humiliating and offensive treatment; we need to work towards safety for all in sport.” Blackwell said. For so many, being LGBTQ+ is a source of fear and is still considered a risk – for them, their careers and for those close to them.

One of the clips included Morris making disparaging comments about a female colleague, while another captured him saying “I’m not Asian, I’m not black, I’m not a woman, I’m not gay, so don’t treat me like shit. I am truly sorry to everyone.” Morris said.
