“In my generation, in the 1990s, we used to slap each other on the buttocks as a way of celebrating. Today, this no longer happens; and if it did, I believe it would be condemned.”
A statement like this can often be heard in sporting environments — and it shows just how much our culture has changed.
What was once considered “harmless” or “part of team spirit” is now viewed through the lens of athlete safeguarding. Change does not happen overnight — it develops through dialogue between generations.
Respect. Boundaries. Everyone.
Safe sport is better sport.
