Tebas’ Lunar New Release on Vinicius Insults

The Vinicius Jr case has shed light on racism in football. In Spain, many are rebelling against Javier Tebas, deemed too “lax”, to defend himself, the latter spoke at a press conference on the subject. According to him, the Brazilian is particularly targeted because of his talent, as Ronaldo and Messi were able to be when they played in La Liga.

“Vinicius is the subject of insults because he is a great player. If we look closely, taking a step back, the great players that are Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi are those who have (suffered) the most insults In one case homophobic and in the other on an intellectual disability (Messi having often been described as autistic, editor’s note). It is because they are great players that they arouse malevolence”. words relayed by RMC Sports.

A fight that Tebas intends to lead

In addition, the Big Boss of the Spanish Football League referred to the evolution of the number insults in the stadiums within the championship, which has been drastically reduced in recent years.

“We have an important history in the fight against racism, xenophobia and homophobia. Ten years ago it was chanting in stadiums and we put an end to it. “is more than small groups or isolated individuals and we continue to fight, the fight against racism is done every day. We have started a battle that we have won not without personal costs”

If Tebas seems to be satisfied with this development, the road to a La Liga without racism still seems very long!
