JUST A BALL GAME? MEDIA RELEASE- For
immediate release.
Just
a Ball Game? (JBG?) organisation is delighted to announce that AFC Rushden
& Diamonds Ladies Team have enthusiastically decided to incorporate the
JBG? logo on the front of their shirts, in a guest kit sponsorship arrangement
for next season (2013-14).
Just a Ball Game? is a not for profit

for providing successful work in tackling homophobia and supportive awareness
raising of the related importance of LGBT [Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Trans] inclusion
in football. The AFC R&D Ladies
Team’s decision breaks new and exciting ground since this unique
partnership/initiative for JBG? with the football club amounts to being the
first football club in the world to incorporate an anti-homophobia campaign
organisation in such a high profile visual way.

promotion will send out a very clear and inspirational message of encouragement
to other football clubs, that they too can engage in a similar way to tackle
the unacceptable problem of homophobia in the sport, and that, for anyone who
identifies as LGBT, the club is inclusive of ALL communities and a welcome and
safe environment to enjoy football in."
