This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.

The current lockdown restrictions permits businesses that have otherwise been required to close to open for elite sports persons to train and compete (in indoor and outdoor sports facilities), irrespective of whether they are male or female.

If a business or sporting organisation is only arranging activites or opening for male sports persons you should raise your concerns with them directly.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
