  • Communities need to be Retro or Retro-adjacent.
  • Please don't upload pornographic content. (use an external image host for that)

Do not let me see you acting up:

“In previous tournaments, players, officials and coaching staff representing the home nations have experienced online hate, threats, abuse and harassment”, Ofcom’s letter reads. “Spikes in the circulation of this content have often targeted Black and minority ethnic players, as well as being on the basis of perceived sexual orientation or disability status.”
