want to go out there and perform the best as athletes and performers, but there's also a bigger picture we can have on anyone. it can be massive, so therefore, i think trying to push the boundaries and use our platforms and use the media and get the sport out there for people to watch, because i remember when i was a young kid, not knowing wheelchair tennis existed. knowing it could be someone else right now watching it and having a role model, it's really important. hopefully it can improve. alfie hewett there. now, we've heard about american football and baseball teams changing their native american imagery because of cultural appropriation. now, the exeter chiefs premiership rugby club have taken the decision to change their logo from this — to this. they'll still be called the chiefs, but instead of this imagery, which they've received complaints about, they'll use a logo based on a celtic iron age tribe — the dumnonii. earlier, i spoke to elizabeth holloway, who's from the organisation "exeter chiefs for change", and asked what prompted her to launch this campaign we're absolutely thrilled. we're so relieved that's been done, but so excited that it's been done so well. throughout the campaign, we've been saying the name doesn't need to change, its about the image that you associate it with. we had lots of different people suggesting different historical chiefs from the devon area and locals that looked like —— logos that look similar. it's everything we could have dreamed of. we are thrilled and beyond excited about being able to fully support our club and be doubly proud of everything they achieve on the pitch. now we can be proud of them off the pitch as well, and we're celebrating devon, the area we all come from and we're also proud of. ~ :, all come from and we're also proud of. ~ . :, , ,, of. what were conversations like with the club _ of. what were conversations like with the club and _ of. what were conversations like with the club and other -

love so much. absolutely, and we totally appreciate that. this is - totally appreciate that. this is something that's been a journey for all of us, although we've seen those campaigns and so on in the us. that's still fairly recent compared to the 20 years or so that exeter have used this, so we've all warn the shirt and not giving it a second thought until recent years. we recognise that the journey for all of us and it's all about helping people hear from of us and it's all about helping people hearfrom people directly understanding more about the impact it has on those communities and see some of the scientific research and studies which show how it's reinforcing negative stereotypes. initially, we tried to fly that with the club, and that was what we were hoping would start the conversation. they didn't really want to hear that, so that was when we thought we can't just give that, so that was when we thought we can'tjust give up there. we know this is the right thing and change has to come at some point, so how can we go about making that happen? mostly so that the right thing gets done and the harm stops being done, but also, to try and get our club to be the best it can be and stop it being an issue for them. let's take at look at some of the other sports news stories making the headlines. the women's six nations has its own title sponsor for the first time after agreeing a four—year deal with tiktok. the social media platform will also be involved with the men's and under—205 competitions, as well as the autumn nations series. england have announced that captain eoin morgan will miss the last two matches of the t20 series against the west indies because of a minor right thigh muscle injury. derby county's administrators have been given an extra month to show they have enough money to survive the season. they've agreed with the efl to extend the deadline into march, even though they were expected to run out of cash next month. the extra time has been granted to allow further talks with potential buyers. barcelona are in talks with wolves over signing their forward adama traore. barca are offering to take their former player back on loan with the option to buy at the end of the season. spurs had a £15 million bid for him turned down earlier this month. the fa and pfa have agreed a change to contracts in the women's game that will guarantee elite players in england maternity and long—term sickness cover. maternity pay has previously been at the discretion of clubs in england and abroad. this decision means players at the 24 clubs across the women's super league and championship will all receive cover they were not previously entitled to. earlier, i spoke to watford and wales striker and significantly mother of two, helen ward. i began by asking her how significant this was for the women's game. it isa it is a massive step forward , forward, and you can argue that it is about forward, and you can argue that it is about :, �* ~' forward, and you can argue that it is about :, �* ~ ., is about time. however, i'm keen to celebrate the _ is about time. however, i'm keen to celebrate the win _ is about time. however, i'm keen to celebrate the win rather— is about time. however, i'm keen to celebrate the win rather than -

want to go out there and perform the best as athletes and performers, but there's also a bigger picture we can have on anyone. it can be massive, so therefore, i think trying to push the boundaries and use our platforms and use the media and get the sport out there for people to watch, because i remember when i was a young kid, not knowing wheelchair tennis existed. knowing it could be someone else right now watching it and having a role model, it's really important. hopefully it can improve. alfie hewett there. now, we've heard about american football and baseball teams changing their native american imagery because of cultural appropriation. now, the exeter chiefs premiership rugby club have taken the decision to change their logo from this — to this. they'll still be called the chiefs, but instead of this imagery, which they've received complaints about, they'll use a logo based on a celtic iron age tribe — the dumnonii. earlier, i spoke to elizabeth holloway, who's from the organisation "exeter chiefs for change", and asked what prompted her to launch this campaign we're absolutely thrilled. we're so relieved that's been done, but so excited that it's been done so well. throughout the campaign, we've been saying the name doesn't need to change, its about the image that you associate it with. we had lots of different people suggesting different historical chiefs from the devon area and locals that looked like —— logos that look similar. it's everything we could have dreamed of. we are thrilled and beyond excited about being able to fully support our club and be doubly proud of everything they achieve on the pitch. now we can be proud of them off the pitch as well, and we're celebrating devon, the area we all come from and we're also proud of. ~ :, all come from and we're also proud of. ~ . :, , ,, of. what were conversations like with the club _ of. what were conversations like with the club and _ of. what were conversations like with the club and other -

love so much. absolutely, and we totally appreciate that. this is - totally appreciate that. this is something that's been a journey for all of us, although we've seen those campaigns and so on in the us. that's still fairly recent compared to the 20 years or so that exeter have used this, so we've all warn the shirt and not giving it a second thought until recent years. we recognise that the journey for all of us and it's all about helping people hear from of us and it's all about helping people hearfrom people directly understanding more about the impact it has on those communities and see some of the scientific research and studies which show how it's reinforcing negative stereotypes. initially, we tried to fly that with the club, and that was what we were hoping would start the conversation. they didn't really want to hear that, so that was when we thought we can't just give that, so that was when we thought we can'tjust give up there. we know this is the right thing and change has to come at some point, so how can we go about making that happen? mostly so that the right thing gets done and the harm stops being done, but also, to try and get our club to be the best it can be and stop it being an issue for them. let's take at look at some of the other sports news stories making the headlines. the women's six nations has its own title sponsor for the first time after agreeing a four—year deal with tiktok. the social media platform will also be involved with the men's and under—205 competitions, as well as the autumn nations series. england have announced that captain eoin morgan will miss the last two matches of the t20 series against the west indies because of a minor right thigh muscle injury. derby county's administrators have been given an extra month to show they have enough money to survive the season. they've agreed with the efl to extend the deadline into march, even though they were expected to run out of cash next month. the extra time has been granted to allow further talks with potential buyers. barcelona are in talks with wolves over signing their forward adama traore. barca are offering to take their former player back on loan with the option to buy at the end of the season. spurs had a £15 million bid for him turned down earlier this month. the fa and pfa have agreed a change to contracts in the women's game that will guarantee elite players in england maternity and long—term sickness cover. maternity pay has previously been at the discretion of clubs in england and abroad. this decision means players at the 24 clubs across the women's super league and championship will all receive cover they were not previously entitled to. earlier, i spoke to watford and wales striker and significantly mother of two, helen ward. i began by asking her how significant this was for the women's game. it isa it is a massive step forward , forward, and you can argue that it is about forward, and you can argue that it is about :, �* ~' forward, and you can argue that it is about :, �* ~ ., is about time. however, i'm keen to celebrate the _ is about time. however, i'm keen to celebrate the win _ is about time. however, i'm keen to celebrate the win rather— is about time. however, i'm keen to celebrate the win rather than -
