    Brazilian player Vinicius Jr. gets racially abused every time he plays outside of Real Madrid stadium. Like every fucking time people either make monkey noises or just say the N word for him to hear. It’s insane.

    Not surprising considering the head of the spanish football federation is an outspoken VOX supporter, they refuse to even try to adress this issue. In fact, every time something happens with Vinicius, former, in activity players or members of the federation would come out and speak about it but they always end up making it worse. They make racist comments while trying to downplay racism at the same time. It takes effort to be this bad.

      Happened in rugby recently too, which is a shame, not just by a fan, but a teammate:

      “Benetton Rugby prop Ivan Nemer has been suspended until June 30 after giving a rotten banana to team-mate Cherif Traore as a Christmas present. The Italian Rugby Federation confirmed the suspension following an investigation into the incident during a private lunch organised by the club’s players on December 20”
