The "sensitive content" is a picture of Arthur Ashe holding up a trophy. Maybe the warning is there to alert people of the upcoming slowness in downloading content.

In 1975, Arthur Ashe beats Jimmy Connors 6-1, 6-1, 5-7, 6-4 to win the men’s singles title at Wimbledon. It’s the first all-American final since 1947. See more sports moments from this date:
