'“Well, if he wasn’t so black in the first place, perhaps he wouldn’t receive so much abuse,” is what you half-expect a pundit to vomit forth.' twoht on Vinicius Jnr and Spain's massive racism problem.
. At the end of Real Madrid’s game at Valencia in La Liga on Sunday evening, Vinicius Junior’s patience finally ran out. The forward has been followed by a cloud of noxious abuse all season, and at the end of this latest match he was sent off for a shove on Valencia’s Hugo Duro.
And then, after the game, a familiar round of blame-passing in which somehow the player who has been on the end of some pretty despicable abuse throughout the whole of this season once again finds himself being blamed for the abuse that he repeatedly receives. ‘Whilst strongly denouncing these isolated incidents, Valencia CF would like to thank the more than 46,000 fans in attendance for their support for the team.’
For their part, La Liga later released a statement in which they stated that they would take ‘appropriate legal action’ if ‘any hate crime is detected’.In September, Atletico Madrid supporters sang, “Vinicius you’re a monkey” while making monkey noises. At the start of December, the Madrid prosecutor’s office determined that the chanting, while ‘unpleasant’ and ‘disrespectful’, was not a criminal offence.
We must stand against the racial abuse of Vinicius. But he is not a saint. He is provoking fans and that is not right.” Again with the equivocation and mitigation. If you were a black player about to consider their options for the summer transfer window, how seriously wouldtake an offer from a club in a country where not only will you have to undergo racist abuse, but see no substantive action taken, while people openly question whether you have brought all this on yourself.
