What the petition asks
To present different types of women's sports on all forms of media
It is unfair that male sports presenters and sports receive more air-time and acknowledgement on mainstream TV and are covered more on radio, within newspapers and social media.
Why it was rejected
It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
We can't accept your petition because the UK Government and Parliament aren't responsible for the issue you raise. This would be a decision for broadcasters and not the UK Government or Parliament.
