Sport accord petition / GAISF recognition (merged threads)

[Steve]

Maybe an idea here with a petition. If we can get Kevin Sinfield to 2nd in Sports Personality of the Year we can get make a fair number of signatures to recognise that we are indeed a sport.

I suggest anyone with links to Rugby Union and Rugby League players in particular to get them to sign up. Jonathan Davis, SBW, Jason Robinson, Johnny Wilkinson?

Could do with some famous names tweeting it

Shared with TWP, hopefully they retweet. get your teams to do the same.

And if, when you add a comment to your signature, you could refrain from slagging off other sports (who all have their own passionate fans), that might win you more friends than enemies.

Signed, do the UK have a representative on this body? If so pressure should be applied to them to support our cause 

[parklandswolf]

also, could we get more journalists reporting this - are they even aware ?

There are also people putting reviews on the Sportaccord fb page, including myself in that

That's doubtful.  A cursory look at the membership requirements would suggest that RL doesn't measure up as yet.  The part about "No Rivalry with GAISF Members" might be a difficult barrier to surmount as RL and RU are rivals in many ways.

Isn't this where the tech experts in the marketing teams in the RFL, RLIF etc come in to make this go viral ?
