On the BBC’s launch of their #ChangeTheGame summer of women’s sport, Emma said:

“It’s fantastic to see the BBC’s commitment to women’s sport by revealing they will broadcast more women’s sport this summer than ever before. I hope that the Change the Game campaign will inspire the next generation of sports women.

“Women’s sport is seeing rising popularity and, while this is of course a positive, there is still so much to do to put women’s sport on an equal footing to men’s sport. This summer, more people will be able to watch women compete, win and achieve.

“As the campaign says, skill is skill and sport is sport. Women play to the same rules and use the same pitches as men. There is only a difference if we choose to see one.”
