    3. Creating a stronger sense of empowerment amongst those groups experiencing prejudice
    4. Providing a forum/media platform for individual role models to share their life experiences (as done by Adama Traore today in response to the knee developments
    5. It encourages other minority groups to relate their own lives to the experiences of the black and ethnic community in sport, raising the sense of not tolerating the abuse that black and ethnic players experience and how to come together in order to combat abuse


    You said that these were not achievements, which is fair enough. I just asked why they aren't considered achievements in your opinion, as they look like that quite considerable achievements to me! And this was leaving out my #6 Raised the awareness of child sports fans of the importance of cultural inclusiveness in sports and society from their heroes and role models.
    Collins English Dictionary achievement
    1. something that has been accomplished by hard work,ability or heroism.
    2. the condition of having been accomplished.

    Your points above are talking points but not achievements.

    An example would be, when we had a mass shooting we banned most guns. That was an achievement.
    In America they have multiple mass shootings and are still talking about it. Not an achievement.

    Blimey, I thought I'd seen it all.

    You've got confused about what opinions are. They're subjective things.

    Dictionary definition Subjective
    1. based on or influenced by personal feelings
    "his views are highly subjective"

    You can't use a dictionary to disprove someone's subjective opinions
