Dr. Laura Martinez: Good afternoon, and thank you for having me. The incident was regrettable but unfortunately not surprising. Marino’s experiance highlights the persistent issue of racism not just in colombian football, but globally. It’s alarming to see a player facing such hostility while simply doing his job.
Time.news Editor: Indeed,after scoring a goal,Hinestroza not only had the joy of the moment but also faced racially charged abuse. He stated that three individuals were making monkey gestures towards him. Why do you think these types of actions continue in sports?
Dr.Laura Martinez: Racism in sports often mirrors societal attitudes. It stems from deep-rooted prejudices and cultural stereotypes that are pervasive in society. Sports, being a microcosm of society, reflect these issues. In many cases,there is also a lack of accountability. Fans may feel emboldened to express these sentiments because thay believe they won’t face consequences.
Time.news Editor: Hinestroza called for consequences from Dimayor, the governing body. How crucial is it for sports organizations to intervene in incidents like this?
Dr. Laura Martinez: It’s absolutely vital. When organizations like Dimayor take a firm stance against racism,it sends a message that such behavior is unacceptable. Sanctions serve not only to address the specific incident but also discourage future occurrences. Without accountability, offenders might think there’s no real outcome for their actions.
Time.news Editor: Following the match, Hinestroza also reported receiving new racial attacks on social media, notably highlighting a comment from a social figure. What does this tell us about the broader societal issue?
Dr. Laura Martinez: It indicates that racism can manifest in various forms – not just from fans during a game, but also through personal attacks on social media. This demonstrates the digital landscape has become a playground for abuse, often exacerbating issues of racism. It’s imperative for social media platforms to also take action against hate speech to create a safer surroundings.

Experiencing racism can lead to mental health struggles,including anxiety and depression,affecting on-field performance and overall well-being. When players feel targeted, it detracts from the joy of the game, compromising the integrity of the sport itself. It’s disheartening when athletes can’t fully immerse themselves in the game they love because they’re distracted by negativity.
Time.news Editor: As we look to the future, what steps do you believe need to be taken at both the organizational and societal levels to combat racism in sports?
Dr. Laura Martinez: First, organizations must implement strict policies and hold offenders accountable. Education is also crucial; awareness campaigns can help change long-standing attitudes. Society must evolve,fostering inclusivity and respect. promoting dialog around these issues, both in the media and in community discussions, is imperative. only through concerted efforts can we hope to see substantial change.
