ANJ joins forces with football body for cyberbullying awareness campaign
France’s National Gaming Authority (ANJ) has teamed up with the Ligue de Football Professionnel (LFP) to curb the online harassment of players
France’s National Gaming Authority (ANJ) has teamed upwards with the Ligue de Football Professionnel (LFP) to curbing the online torment of players.
To protect them as intimately as coaches and referees from cyberbullying, the ANJ and LFP experience embarked on a picture hunting expedition whose substance is underscored by the hashtag #ParierSansClasher, which roughly translates to “betting without clashing” inward English.
Ultimately, this crusade is targeted at aggrieved bettors, which the ANJ claims “regularly” stratum attacks at football game players on social media, blaming them for missed bets.
“Many sports people, including professional person football game players, are regularly attacked past bettors on social networks, accusing them of being in arrears sports bets that they have got lost,” stated the ANJ.
“These behaviours often reverberate an erroneous vision of sports betting, perceived and so as a gritty of virgin expertise relating to sporting events devoid of hazards. They also illustrate the put on the line of seeing the egress of sports betting supercede the sporting issues themselves.”
To call down awareness of this problem, the ANJ and LFP produced a 33-second film, which through “absurdity and visual shock” emphasises “the central values ââof observe and fair play.”
The video features a 3D-rendered football match, but the alive players are invisible, only if their kits tin can follow seen. In the background, a voice tin can be heard giving commentary, but instead than describing the gritty inwards footballing terms, everything is framed from a betting perspective.
ANJ explained this “reminds us that in that respect is ever a human in arrears the tee shirt and that insults uttered online behind a screen make real consequences for players, coaches and referees.”
