Fendr removes abusive, racist, and hateful comments from your Instagram in real time — before your audience sees them and before you have to deal with them.
Sign-up takes two minutes. No card needed.
A missed shot. A turnover. A result that goes the wrong way. The abuse that follows isn't just about the game — for players from ethnic minority backgrounds, it's often racial, personal, and relentless. It doesn't matter whether you play top-tier, college, or semi-pro.
Social media is central to a basketball player's profile in a way it isn't for every sport — it's how you build your brand, connect with fans, and attract sponsorship. Closing it down costs too much. But leaving it open without protection means absorbing whatever comes in.
Most players have been told the same things: ignore it, report it, take a break. None of that stops it — and staying off social media isn't a solution, it's giving something up you've earned.
By the time a comment is reported and reviewed it has already been live for hours — already seen, already liked by people who agree with it. Reporting it to Instagram rarely results in removal anyway: 70% of reported hate speech stays up. (Appeals Centre Europe, 2026) The leagues and clubs care about player welfare, but the tools to protect players on their personal accounts haven't kept pace.
Fendr is proactive. It removes hate comments before they go live — before your audience sees them, before they can spread, before you have to decide whether to act on them or let them go.
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.
