For amateur & semi-pro athletes

You don't need to be a professional to face professional-level abuse.

Fendr removes hate, abusive, and racist comments from your Instagram in real time — before your audience sees them and before they reach you.

Sign-up takes two minutes. No card needed.

The same hate professionals face — without the welfare team around you.

Online abuse doesn't scale with your level. Amateur and semi-pro athletes with a public Instagram face the same hate professionals face — personal abuse, racist comments, targeted harassment after a bad result — without the club welfare team, the agent, or the management support.

For athletes building toward a professional career, Instagram isn't optional. It's how you build a profile, attract sponsors, connect with coaches, and show the work. The audience you're growing now is the foundation of the career you're building.

And unlike professionals, you're managing it alone. No welfare officer. No one monitoring your mentions. Just you, your phone, and whatever comes in after a match.

The platforms aren't protecting you.

By the time a comment is reported and reviewed it has already been live for hours. Reporting it to Instagram rarely results in removal: 70% of reported hate speech stays up. (Appeals Centre Europe, 2026) And manually moderating your own comment section takes time and energy that should be going into your training.

Fendr is proactive. It removes hate comments before they go live — before your audience sees them, before they reach you, before they cost you the focus you need.

Removing it changes more than you think.

A hate comment left visible on your post doesn't just affect you. It signals to everyone who visits your profile that this space is unmoderated — and that more hate is welcome. Research into online behaviour consistently shows that visible hate shapes the environment and produces more of it, not less.

Removing abusive comments in real time doesn't just protect you from one comment. It changes what your comment section communicates to the thousands of people who see it.
