Check out the journalist’s statement about Vinícius Jr!
“I’m not stupid, Vinicius. I’m just a journalist who asked you a question, which you answered with an insult. A gesture, like that of “Segunda”, like so many others. I’m not stupid. Nor the Valencia fans. Neither do the majority of first division stadiums and fans who have known you for a long time. It doesn’t stick.
A good part of Spanish football and your own professional teammates don’t like you. But not because I’m black. They don’t like you because you provoke, lack respect and look down on anything that isn’t called Real Madrid.
We all condemn racism. We all applaud you identifying and punishing those who insulted you because of the color of your skin. We all want these people out of Mestalla for life. Make no mistake, Vinicius. Do not mix. Don’t take us off our asses“, he wrote.
