Crusaders coaches promote diversity in times of division
With all the divisiveness in football caused Donald Trump’s war over NFL players’ kneeling protests during the American national anthem some are looking for an inclusive voice.
The Carlton Crusaders are providing exactly that, after adopting ‘Diversity is Strength’ as the motto for this season.
The ‘Diversity is Strength’ initiative was started by the Canadian Football League to promote inclusion and acceptance in response to the white supremacist rallies and consequent murder in Charlottesville, Va., back in August.
Crusaders head coach Lindsay Strachan said with everything going on, that message was necessary to deliver right now to the young men on his team.
