“Having an opinion and a take on the sport is one thing. Having an opinion on a take, simply because someone has a different gender than you are, a different race than you are, a different way of talking about things, is unacceptable.” Toni Cowan-Brown, content creator and presenter, draws a necessary line between opinion and prejudice. Sport is built on different perspectives, voices and experiences. None of them should become grounds for discrimination. “There are very few things in life that can unite people across religion, gender, languages that has no barrier and that is sport.” That ability to bring people together is one of sport’s most powerful qualities. Protecting it means ensuring that respect remains fundamental, for everyone. #UAOADay #UnitedAgainstOnlineAbuse #WordsMatterInSport
