KrolMong Posted May 24, 2023 Share Posted May 24, 2023 I don’t know whether any of you have followed what happened with Vini Jr during the Valencia v Madrid game on Sunday. Basically, he was racially abused, the referee followed protocol (warnings etc.) and players of both clubs had a pop at the fans. Vini then gets sent off at the end of the game. Now, he’s turned to social media and basically said that it’s too many times and LaLiga have turned a blind eye to it. LaLiga have then had a go at him, Infantino has issued the usual awful statement and now even Nike have come out in defence of Vini. Sponsors are unhappy with LaLiga and are reviewing there own agreements. The federal prosecution group have now got involved and are issuing punishments against fans because the clubs are deemed to not be doing enough. This is going to get messy very quickly.

Hirstys 12th Pint Posted May 24, 2023 Share Posted May 24, 2023 Did I see Valencia have had one of their stands closed ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delseeds Posted May 24, 2023 Share Posted May 24, 2023 Spanish have a historical blatant flagrance for racism. almost to a point where its a sense of pride to be. Not at all surprised that they turn around and blame the victim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tylluan Posted May 24, 2023 Share Posted May 24, 2023 (edited) Good point made yesterday. How is Jude Bellingham viewing this and will affect his decision on his next club. Others suggesting that PSG may make a cheeky bid for Vini Jnr Edited May 24, 2023 by Tylluan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He should have made the decision for him and taken the team off. Bellingham IMO has the strength of character to lead a team off, RM need a strong manager like Mourinho or Zidane to back the players in these situations. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoylandOwl Posted May 24, 2023 Share Posted May 24, 2023 It's horrendous what happened to Vinicius Jnr. Nothing new in Spain for such horrendous overt racism in football, and the limited responses to it in the past help facilitate what's (not) happening now. Massive fines, numerous totally behind closed doors games, and FIFA actually giving a shit would go SOME way to maybe swinging the pendulum the right way. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tylluan Posted May 24, 2023 Share Posted May 24, 2023 Brasil were due to play a couple of friendlies in Spain and Portugal against African opposition but they're now trying to pull the fixtures and move them to England or France 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1banana2banana Posted May 24, 2023 Share Posted May 24, 2023 As already said Spain isn’t new to this, awful racism inside stadiums for a long time now closely followed by the Italians. The problem is, this story will sink into the abyss as the crackpot left over here spend every day calling things that aren’t remotely racist, racist. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
