Our sports operate under high-risk, high-reward environments representing the peak of innovation and sporting accomplishments. However, in doing so, our sporting environments are opened up to online abuse and emotionally-charged rhetoric.
This abuse seeks to tarnish our experiences by targeting our athletes, personnel, officials, volunteers, and fans – a narrative that is inharmonious with the free, open and inclusive principles of sport dating back over centuries. Accordingly, our ambition is to build a coalition amongst international sporting organisations and governments to better understand these phenomena and fight them more effectively.
