Rejected petition Allow Elite Sports such as the Premier League to Continue through lockdown.

We want the government to allow the premier league and other professional sporting events to continue through lockdown.

More details

Elite sport, especially the premier league have rigorous testing measures in place and have shown how successful this has been. Additionally, sport positively contributes to the mental health wellbeing of much of the nation. Not allowing professional sport to continue through lockdown would be detrimental to the mental health of many people.
