NEW: Inclusive Rugby tournament pushing barriers in Ottawa ottnews
Drawing in more than 1,500 players and 83 clubs from 20 countries worldwide, the Bingham Cup is the bi-annual world championship of gay and inclusive Rugby.
The Rogues success on the field, is only matched by their success off of it. The team has quickly recruited players, a whopping 53 new team members this year, including 25 who had never played the sport before. "A lot of kids, particularly in Canada have been a target of homophic abuse, and sexist abuse in sport and that deters them from playing sport," Denison, a researcher at Monash University’s Behavioural Science Laboratory, said.
"When boys use this homophobic and sexist banter they’re actually more likely to sexually assault a girl and engage in sexual harassment," Denison said.
