Unfortunately, apologies alone are very rarely effective in changing bigoted attitudes such as this, as they can be so easily brushed aside by those involved. Considering how severe the incident was, I strongly encourage Derwent College Rugby to show that they will not tolerate this type of behaviour and suspend the members involved from the team; I believe any actions short of this only serve to perpetuate a hostile atmosphere towards the LGBTQ+ community. I'd also like to thank the JCRC members who intervened on the night and who did their best to remove the individuals involved." – Apologies on the delay for this, this was originally supposed to be published in vision 💜|author=LGBTQ+ Network York SU |date=3 March 2022 |url=https://www.instagram.com/p/CapiRwrs8cL/ |access-date=18 January 2023 |website=Instagram  }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=Matt for Community & Wellbeing on Instagram: "Please see my statement on recent events that have unfolded." |url=https://www.instagram.com/p/CaXvoNmsj3s/ |access-date=18 January 2023 |website=Instagram }}</ref>
