BarcelonaThe best news for Real Madrid is that Vinícius was only good against Valencia to score a goal with his chest and another close to the post. After what happened last season in Mestalla, today’s match was not just another meeting, but one marked on the calendar, especially by certain media that the rest should point out as irresponsible, if not unworthy , for the profession. Everyone has interests, accounts to settle, crisis to solve, shareholder meetings to please and a certain audience to convince to buy, subscribe or click on their news, but there are limits that should not be crossed because they inflame spirits and fuel hatred.
Vinícius does not have to go down well with everyone; personally, his exaggerated gesticulations and his repeated disrespect to rivals make me nervous, but in the Valencia CF stadium they shouted at him”mono” and it wasn’t the first time. It also happened to Atlético de Madrid and the Prosecutor’s Office filed the case because the chants “lasted only a few seconds”. If you are not Afro-descendant, as is the case with most of us who write or we talk to the media, it would be advisable to train in anti-racism and try to empathize with the impact that racist attitudes have on those who suffer them. Put him on the front pages, point him out as an enemy, affirm that his testimony or experience – when some of them have been public – are of no use because he throws himself in the area, yells at the referee or cycles without letting go or turning around to humiliate a teammate, it’s miserable. Miserable racists, specifically, because they don’t there is no justification for being called “monkey”.
I wish Vinícius would talk to Carles Puyol or whoever has two fingers on his forehead and, above all, listen to them. This is his private work to evolve professionally, but above all personally. The task of the sports media is to relentlessly denounce any racist, xenophobic, homophobic and/or sexist attitude on football pitches because they are a breeding ground, an excellent thermometer, a mirror in which to see ourselves reflected as a society. And Vinícius is not an example of behavior, but it is unacceptable to doubt that he has been a victim.
