I suspect it causes less of a problem than football.The reason I reached this conclusion is that a few years ago I was travelling on a winter's Saturday and noticed all the cars on the motorway that had scarves streaming from their windows that indicated support of a team.Add it up for all the league and non-league teams in each country and it would indicate a vast amount of travelling.Even hoe supporters can have a distance to traverse to reach their home ground.Add in all the journalists and pundits and the foreign fixtures and it has to be ahead of F1.Let us not forget that F1 has been offsetting emissions since 1997 and is doing work that is applicable to the next generation of road cars.Yes we could all get on our bikes but the single most significant sports event for bringing about pollution is the Tour de France.
