Here at Sky Sports, we are clear that we do not tolerate online hate. Hate Won’t Win.
As we’ve said before many times, at Sky Sports, everybody is welcome – it’s a message we are proud to share.
We noted, as we reported earlier this week, British tennis star Katie Boulter speaking out to the BBC about the horrific abuse she receives. We stand with Katie, her colleagues who spoke out against the abuse and support the request from platforms and government that more should be done to protect all on social media.
We saw, and reported too, Alessia Russo, as she prepares to represent England in the European Championships in Switzerland, talk about how damaging reading social media posts can be.
She will turn off her attention to social media during the competition, but should she really have to?
Sky Sports supports Russo and the Lionesses in that they should be able to compete at elite tournaments without being the subject of vile online abuse.
So here again, we state our position on Online Hate:
- Sky Sports will use the power of its voice to highlight the scale of online hate and abuse and the damage that it can inflict upon people
- We will seek to remove as many abusive and hateful comments posted on skysports.com and our channels on social media platforms as we can
- We will block users bringing hate to our comments sections on our website and channels on social media platforms
- We will report hate and abuse to the social media platforms
- We will report the most serious cases to the relevant authorities
- We strive to make our channels respectful places where sporting conversations thrive
- We will keep commissioning journalism that shines a light on social injustices and inequality in sport
- We will work with the social media platforms and policymakers to make their platforms safer and more respectful
We also need your help…
If you see a reply to Sky Sports posts and/or content with an expression of hate on the basis of race, sex, colour, gender, nationality, ethnicity, disability, religion, sexuality, age or class, please copy the URL to the hateful post and screengrab it and email us here.

Rafael Devers on Red Sox tenure: ‘I do feel that I have earned some respect’
SAN FRANCISCO — As Rafael Devers prepared to play his former team, the Boston Red Sox, on Friday night, he avoided addressing any hard feelings from the fallout of a massive trade earlier this week.Devers, who was traded to the San Francisco Giants on Sunday night after nine seasons in Boston, repeated multiple times that what happened in Boston was in the past.Advertisement“That’s in the past,” Devers said through an interpreter while sitting in the Giants’ dugout at Oracle Park. “Those are not decisions that I control and I’m leaving that in the past right now.”When Devers was introduced in a press conference in San Francisco on Tuesday, the Giants noted Devers had begun taking work at first base, something he had refused to do in Boston following Triston Casas’ season-ending knee injury. The Red Sox had already asked Devers […]
Reds place LHP Wade Miley on IL with flexor strain, call up Connor Phillips
The Reds placed left-hander Wade Miley on the 15-day injured list with a left flexor sprain and recalled right-hander Connor Phillips from Triple-A Louisville on Friday.The team also added right-hander Chase Petty to the taxi squad. Miley was scheduled to start Saturday’s game against the St. Louis Cardinals at Busch Stadium. That spot will likely go to Petty, who has two starts this season, including his big-league debut on April 30 against the Cardinals at Great American Ball Park. He allowed nine runs on seven hits with two walks in 2 1/3 innings in that game, the second of a doubleheader.AdvertisementPetty allowed four runs over three-plus innings in a start in Houston on May 11. At Triple-A, he’s 1-4 with a 2.76 ERA in 10 starts. He last pitched Monday, throwing 4 1/3 scoreless against the Iowa Cubs.Miley, 38, has […]
Oilers’ Stan Bowman, Kris Knoblauch on Connor McDavid extension, goaltending and more
EDMONTON — Words matter, and there were a lot of them uttered in Friday’s news conference featuring Edmonton Oilers general manager Stan Bowman and coach Kris Knoblauch.So, let’s cut through the noise and get to the most impactful ones.These were the five most important things said by two of the Oilers’ chief decision-makers as they try to forge ahead to next season after a frustrating loss in the Stanley Cup Final. Now, it’s time to decipher what they really mean.“It’s my job to connect with Connor in that way and demonstrate that that’s what we’re all trying to do. We all have the same objective.”Bowman called an extension for Connor McDavid the “No. 1 priority” this offseason — while being respectful to operate on his captain’s timeline after a long season — so it’s best to start with him.McDavid was […]
