    Oh ffs get off your high horse!

    I wasn’t suggesting the colour blind shouldn’t get consideration, my question was what was driving this now.

    It seems that colour blind players have raised it themselves - if so then it explains action being taken, but I’m still wondering why it’s only happening now. This isn’t slavery, child Labour, gay rights.

    It’s something so easy to fix. Why has it taken until now to think about it? They’ve been able to test for colour blindness for over a century, and about 8% of men have it, so there’s likely one or two colour blind players on most squads.

    My point about ‘getting by’ wasn’t a suggestion they should continue to get by; it’s a genuine question as to why now, not before.

    And why only EFL and not Premier League as well? Bizarre.

    Could colour blind players and fans choose to wear glasses with filters in them to help? Not sure if that's even a thing

    I clicked this thread, then clicked the link to the article, then read the article, then came back to this thread. A lot of you should try that tactic.

    Same in Ice Hockey. All away shirts are white and home shirts a colour I believe

    Apologies if you read that as ‘high horse’.

    It seems obvious from ‘here’ that this could have been fixed years ago, but unfortunately the world set off from a very different place and it’ll take a while for all those wrongs to be put right.
