Put sporting values back in the game, with online protection

Online toxicity in sports is rapidly spreading through social media, causing significant damage. Abusive and illicit content erodes the values of sport and affects athlete morale. Discover how this impacts you and how Bodyguard helps protect your online presence.

Challenges

Online toxicity damages your brand

Only 1 in 5 comments posted on social media is supportive. Inappropriate, illegal, and toxic comments reflect badly on your brand image, undermine your values and traditions, and stop true engagement between your club and your fans by disrupting and spoiling interactions.

Revenue is affected without protection

Social networks for sports teams are a popular target for malicious scammers, trolls, and abusive fans. Illicit streaming and betting links flourish on official pages, while spam and discriminatory content put revenues and sponsorship deals at risk.

Performance is impacted by online abuse

Studies show more than half of footballers taking part in international tournaments are victims of online abuse. And it doesn’t only affect football. Athletes need to focus on their performance and be protected from all toxicity, on and off the field.
