Soccer club “Naples” criticized the decision not to apply sanctions to the footballer “Inter” Francesco Acerbi accused of having racially insulted an opponent during a match.
The incident occurred during the match of the 29th day of the Italian championship between Inter and Napoli, which took place on March 17 in Milan and ended in a 1:1 draw. Napoli defender Juan Jesus accused Acerbi of racial insults, but the sports court acquitted the footballer. Following the scandal, Acerbi was dropped from the Italian national team ahead of the team’s trip to the United States. According to media reports, the Nerazzurri player faced a ten-match disqualification.
— No sanctions were applied to Acerbi. In this case, the culprit must be João Jesus, who would unfairly accuse a colleague. It is not reasonable to think that he misunderstood the words spoken.
We are stunned. Why then does the verdict say: “since proof of the offense was obtained”, sports “justice” has not taken any decision in this regard to punish the perpetrator?
“Napoli will no longer join formal initiatives by football organizations against racism and discrimination, we will continue to do so ourselves,” the club said in a statement.
