町田ゼルビアがSNS誹謗中傷を刑事告訴：Q&A

A) Well … I understand that players may need to use such tactics at times. But I’m not a big fan of rough play, as it could hurt their opponents.

A) I doubt it. It’s not realistic to track down all abusive posts and sue those responsible. Some haters may never stop making malicious comments.

A) Yes, I have. The world No.1 tennis player Jannik Sinner is under fire for failing drug tests earlier this year. It was unintentional contamination, but haters keep calling him a “cheater” or “doper.” He doesn’t deserve those false accusations.

A) I heard some people bet on specific players or teams. When they lose money, they get upset and post malicious comments on social media, which makes no sense.

A) Yes, but I’m afraid it’s difficult to protect players. Some respond to defamatory comments to defend themselves, but those acts could backfire. It’s a vicious circle.
