Hi friends,

A player's battle doesn't end on the court. Win or lose, many are met with a torrent of hateful messages online. A 2024 report found 40% of this abuse comes from angry gamblers who lost bets. With stars like Donna Vekic calling the trolls "idiots," how can the sport protect its athletes from this dark side of fandom?

The fact that 40% is from gamblers says it all. Sports need to seriously reconsider their betting sponsorships. They're fueling this fire.
