Discrimination based on nationality > difficult to prove in sports

Quote from Video

It would be extremely difficult because when you make a discrimination claim, you need to show the court evidence that you have been treated unfairly and that the reason you have been treated unfairly is because of a protected characteristic. And as a complainant, you have the burden of proof. In other words, you need to prove to the court on the balance of probabilities, that is, that it is more probable than not that discrimination has taken place against you.

Establishing discrimination in sports > comfortable satisfaction

Quote from Video

Now, in the sports law discipline, the established standard of proof is different, and it is higher than the civil standard of the balance of probabilities. In sports law, we use a higher standard to prove, and the party alleging the fact must prove it to the so-called comfortable satisfaction of the tribunal.
