At MUTE HATE, our mission is to promote fair play and respect in sports, making them safer, more ethical, and accessible to all. This vision can be realized by countering discrimination and hate speech.
Sports events, including football matches, still too often become platforms for racism, homophobia, sexism, and other forms of hate speech. Sometimes, these incidents escalate into physical violence among supporters, disrupting the events themselves. The risk of such incidents forces some organizers to limit or deny access to supporters. Every instance of hate speech is unacceptable and must be prevented and addressed.
Sport has to change mindsets. It is convinced that sport should be first and foremost an instrument for promoting and transmitting values such as fair play, mutual respect and tolerance. There should be no place in sport for violence,Β manipulation, abuse and hate.
