“When my daughter was in the youth team, she performed poorly in a match due to her injury. Then she was subjected to negative and abusive behavior on the field. She is kicked off the team. I did not witness the event as the match was played in another city. When my daughter called me after the match with great sadness, I learned about the events. Since I could not be with my child, I called the trainer on the phone and said: “My daughter called me and said these things, what’s the matter, how can we solve this problem?”. After this sentence, the coach suddenly became extremely angry. He started insulting me and my daughter. ‘Who do you think you are, calling and bothering me? I’m going to prevent your daughter from playing volleyball, I’ve already kicked her off the team. I will prevent her from entering the university . The coach used threatening statements such as “I will prevent her from joining any team or living where she lives.”

“When I was playing at grassroots, I was selected for the volleyball junior national team. Hearing this, my teammates reacted to me. A teammate of mine, a very close friend of mine, had completely cut off communication with me as soon as she heard this news. she started acting very badly. And she marginalized me in a way that would affect other players because of this success. All of a sudden, no one started talking to me, and the attitudes in the training and the match completely changed. After these events, we did not see her again, neither in the team or in our private life. It was very harsh for a child of that age group to receive such a punitive reaction as a result of a success.”

At the exit, a father and son were waiting to get on the XXXX bus. He was wearing XXXX jerseys. A group of Fanatics passing by, mentioned Father and son verbal abuse, gestures, gestures and behaviors. They harassed the father and son by banging on the window of the minibus they were getting on and shouting. They seriously shouted at the boy. The child was between the ages of 10-12. At that moment, I witnessed the facial expression of the child, he was really scared and crying. His father was trying to calm him down, but the boy was terrified. People around who saw this reacted with me . They tried to drive the fanatic group away from there. The people there reacted by saying, “What are you doing, is a child treated this way?” Father and son left by minibus. And they drove the group away from there.”

“It was an important match, it was breaking through. Everyone was very nervous. There were occasional verbal provocations with the opposing team players. But they were all friends we knew. In the 8th minute of the 3rd quarter of the match, a friend from our team and a friend from the opposite team started to argue with each other in the corner of the field. To protect our friend, we ran to that side with the team players who saw this. Although we do not want such events to be seen in sports, it was a situation that could be considered normal in terms of age until that time. The real problem was that a lot of parents booed the players at the time. As we learned later, two parents were highly educated people themselves. One was a doctor and the other a lecturer at a university. These people made unspeakable insults. While our coach was trying to calm the parties in the face of the events, a parent standing in the grandstand pushed me. Our coach got very angry when he saw the parent’s behavior towards me. Our coach came out to the tribune and could not control his anger. When there are parents who want to harm us.”
