Not yet. I have a final question. The role of parents in tackling this problem has not been mentioned. Do the witnesses consider it would be a good idea to create a parents against harassment committee or steering group where parents could be invited to take part in conversations and in finding solutions, particularly in clubs? I find particularly with under-age players that the parents can get emotional when their young sons or daughters are playing. They really get into the game and sometimes what they say on the sidelines is not nice. Often parents try to live their lives through their children. The parents may not have been such good players but they want their sons or daughters to excel in everything and they put pressure on them to do so. Could such an initiative be taken?
