I might have to stop watching LA LIGA and we would stop posting Spanish LA LIGA stories on Naijaloaded.
This βkind of madnessβ does not happen in the Premier League. This is too bad. I cant believe we are dealing with this in 2023.
Valencia fans were caught on camera racially abusing Real Madrid star Vinicius Junior during a football match on Sunday.
Real Madrid manager Ancelotti already spoke about the matter, criticizing Valencia and La Liga for condoning racism.
βThey should have suspended the match then and there. It wasnβt one person. It was a whole stadium that went crazy,β he told reporters after Real Madrid suffered a 1-0 defeat.
βI had never before seen a whole stadium being racist. Maybe Iβve seen a few people being racist, but I had never seen that from a whole stadium.
A Video from twitter shows how Valencia fans were directing Monkey Sounds at Vinicius Junior.
For Nigerians that dont know, Monkey Sounds are chants or calls aimed at ridiculing or denigrating Black sportspeople, usually footballers, who play in majority-White countries. The chants are intended to imitate βmonkeyβ or βapeβ noises.
They may be accompanied by βmonkey gesturesβ, in imitation of the scratching of the armpits commonly seen amongst ape species.
The chants are expressive of the ethnic slurs βmacacaβ and βmonkeyβ against people of African heritage (Wikipedia)
