Morgan Freeman said it best - stop talking about it. Racism will never go away if we keep giving importance to some idiots on the stands.

Because Vini was the one that racism started with and ended. The only victim of racism in football. Because he is a Madrid player racism matters more now.

I think the problem is Vinicius behavior and attitude. Not his skin color.

[ConstantineJoseph]

The problem is not football. It’s down to the unregulated migration policies

[bobbobhouse]

If fans detect you are sensitive to racist comments they will obviously use it to mess with you. It’s like prince and Megan “we don’t want attention “ Lmao

when it was the valencia player or when asian players got it nobody cares 🤡 clowns

[aradomweday]

It was respect and recognition to black players how They are treated

[andreslosada]

People got mad that it blew up only because it was Vinicius and Madrid, but now he’s actually doing something about it

[ADAJKINGANGEL]

The burden should not be on Vini, let him play football and let the FAs handle punishing racist fans in stadiums.

[dookula]

hilarious...the more he cries about it, the easier a target he will be for oppo fans

[laurendilario]

Vinicius should come to Saudi 🇸🇦 Arabia

[Edsutan]

They want vini to focus on anti racism movement. So he lose concentration on field? Plz focus on field.

Players of Color? Come on man. Say different races or anything else. Its June 19th today😊

The fact that this is still a problem in 2023 is sickening
