Review of the topic
We have developed a vocabulary of what online abuse constitutes and have begun to consider the different ways in which abuse impacts individuals and society.
It goes beyond the psychological harm, which itself cannot be underestimated. It impacts our everyday lives in a multitude of ways, from participation in sport and the economic value of sport to the democratic values by which we live. This should iterate the importance of this subject and why we dedicated so much time to investigating its triggers and the particular characteristics of sport that lend itself to a culture of abuse.
In the next two weeks, we will consider what can be done about it, the legal responses, and what actions can be put in place to prevent online abuse in sport.
