Racism broke out again in La Liga! Real Madrid star Vinicius suffered the eighth mass racist attack of the season against Valencia – with the entire Mestalla fan chanting monkey (mono).
Players clashed at the end of the game, with Vinicius slapping opposing players after being chained and making a gesture to the stands suggesting relegation when he was sent off. In subsequent social media, the conflict escalated further.
In the post-match interview, Vinicius retained a hint of decency: "There are fewer instances of racial discrimination, and we expect the world to get better." I'm glad to see that La Liga is making some real efforts to improve the problem and punish those who engage in racial discrimination in stadiums. ”
However, on social media, Vinicius lashed out at racism in Spain: "This is not the first time, nor the second time, not the third time, in La Liga, racism has become the norm." The league thinks it's normal, so does the Football Association, and even opponents are encouraging it.
I am very sorry that the league that once belonged to Ronaldinho, Ronaldo, C Ronaldo and Messi is now full of racists. The beautiful country that I loved and accepted me showed the world the image of a racist State.
I feel sorry for those Spaniards who hold different views, but in Brazil today, Spain is already considered a racist country. Unfortunately, these things happen every week, and I can't defend them. I'm strong and I'll always fight racists, even if it's far from here. ”
La Liga president Tevas also retweeted on social media in response to Vinicius' accusations: "Since those who are supposed to explain to you what @La Liga can do on the issue of racism have not done so, then we will explain it to you, but you did not attend any of the meetings you agreed upon."
Before criticizing and insulting @La Liga, @维尼修斯 you need to understand what we've been doing, make sure you understand everyone's responsibilities, and don't let others manipulate your point of view. Make sure you fully understand everyone's responsibilities and the work we're accomplishing together. ”
Vinicius couldn't bear it anymore, quoting Tevas's tweet in reply: "The president of La Liga has appeared on social media again, not criticizing racists, but attacking me. No matter what you say, pretend not to see, your league image has suffered. Look at the reply in your post, there are surprises...
Silence will only put you on the same side as racists. I'm not a friend with whom I discuss racist topics, what I want to see is actual action and punishment, and your string of labels does not impress me. ”
The incident once again brought the issue of racial discrimination in La Liga into the public eye, and Mbappe also forwarded Vinicius' dynamic to express encouragement:
"You are not alone, we are with you and we will support you."
In fact, the problem of racial discrimination does not only exist on the football field, it is a problem that the whole society and the whole world need to pay attention to and solve. In addition to Mbappe, Brazil's teammates and seniors have also spoken out for Vinicius, and they may have had the same unhappy experience.
Fans want politics to stay away from football, and hope that such debates will draw the attention of the football community and the whole society to the problem of racial discrimination, and take effective action to eradicate this discrimination.
