Vinicius Jr. is in the eye of the hurricane. The extremely talented Real Madrid player was the victim of a racist comment, which was made by Pedro Bravo, president of the Spanish Association of Soccer Agents, on the program ‘El Chiringuito’. Bravo made an offensive comment that was difficult to believe and process at this point in the 21st century.
“If you want to dance samba, you go to the sambadrome, here what you have to do is respect your colleagues and stop acting like a monkey,” said Bravo during his participation in the popular program. Stop monkeying around. He actually uttered these words. The discriminatory act has had a great impact and has generated many reactions.
Through social networks, characters like Neymar have come out to defend the Brazilian star, who is only 22 years old. The Paris Saint Germain player posted a message to his teammate: “Dance, Vini, dance.”
Through his Instagram account, Ney deepened his message and asked Vinicius to continue enjoying football and promised him that in the next commitment of his team they will dance together.
Pelé himself took to his social networks to criticize the comments made against Neymar and sent a message against racism:
“Football is joy. It’s a dance. It’s a real party. Although racism continues to exist, we will not allow it to stop us from continuing to smile. And we will continue to fight racism in this way: fighting for our right to be happy”
– Pele on Twitter
Vini Jr. has not spoken in depth on this subject. He has only published an image of him celebrating with his teammates from the Brazilian team.
Other footballers like Raphinha and Reinier Jesus have also sent messages of support for their partner. “We are with you, Vini. The racist’s place must be in jail,” Reinier said through his networks.
Cases like these leave us with many things for analysis. It is essential that racism be eliminated in football and in our lives. Also, it’s important not to give microphones and spotlights to guys who spread hate speech.
