What do colour-blind football fans report about TV graphics (shootouts, cards, substitution boards), and what remedies did they propose?
A 2018 focus group of 8 colour-blind male football fans, run for Colour Blind Awareness and co-funded by the FA and Fans for Diversity, reports TV penalty-shootout graphics as the clearest broadcast graphics problem: green and red balls for scored and missed penalties, with small blocks making it worse. Their proposed fix is a tick or cross. They also report difficulty telling red and yellow cards on TV and not noticing the red number on substitution boards. This is self-reported, small-sample, advocacy-organisation evidence with untested remedies; it is consistent in direction with the BBC Trust decision's accepted remedy of adding labels.
