⚽🐵 Vinícius Júnior Asserts Racism as ‘Routine’ in Spanish Soccer

Vinícius Júnior has reached his boiling point. The Real Madrid forward, who has been the target of racist jeers from the stands for the past two seasons, took to social media after another incident on Sunday when he was labelled a monkey by Valencia fans. This time, he directed his ire not only towards his tormentors but Spain itself. 🇪🇸👊

“It’s not the first time, nor the second, nor the third,” Vinícius Júnior penned in a post on his Twitter and Instagram accounts. “Racism is commonplace in La Liga. The competition views it as normal, so does the federation, and the opponents are complicit.” He went on to say that Spain is gaining a reputation in his native Brazil as “a country full of racists.” 🇧🇷📲🐒

On Sunday, even before Vinícius Júnior could step off the Real Madrid bus outside Mestalla Stadium for the match, fans started chanting “mono” — monkey. The game was briefly paused in the 71st minute as he pointed out some of his harassers to the referee, and an anti-racism announcement — part of the league’s protocol for such incidents — was broadcast to the crowd. Yet, in the end, it was Vinícius Júnior who was depicted as the antagonist: He was issued a red card in the final minutes after a skirmish with an opponent who had lunged at him. 🚍🏟️🔴

Real Madrid claims the abuse hurled at their player constitutes a hate crime under Spanish law, and the club has lodged a complaint with the relevant authorities demanding an investigation. “We have a significant issue,” stated the president of Spain’s soccer federation on Monday, labeling racism in the nation’s stadiums as a problem that “tarnishes an entire team, an entire fan base, and an entire country.” 🇪🇸⚽👮‍♂️

Subsequently, La Liga’s Chief Executive, Javier Tebas, engaged in a Twitter exchange with Vinícius Júnior. In it, Tebas defended Spain, outlined the efforts the league had made to combat racist behavior, and reprimanded Vinícius for his absence at two meetings scheduled to discuss the abuse he had endured. 🐦💻🤦‍♂️

Tebas’s statement triggered an incensed response from the player.

“Yet again, instead of condemning racists, the president of La Liga appears on social media to attack me,” Vinícius retorted. “No matter how much you talk and feign ignorance, your championship’s reputation has been damaged by this. Check the responses to your posts, and you’ll be surprised. Ignoring the problem only equates you to the racists.” 🤷‍♂️👎💬

The incident elicited criticism and messages of support from across the globe.

During a press conference at the conclusion of a G7 summit in Japan, Brazil’s president, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, conveyed a message of solidarity to Vinícius, deeming it “unfair” that he “gets insulted at every stadium where he plays.”

“It is unacceptable, in the 21st century, to have such intense racial prejudice in so many soccer stadiums,” Lula declared. 🇧🇷🎙️🇯🇵

Present and former players also rallied around Vinícius, criticizing the Spanish authorities for not taking more decisive action against racism, which some Spanish commentators have conveniently described as just a tactic to gain an edge on the field. ⚽🙌💬

Kylian Mbappé, who nearly transferred to Spain last season to join Vinícius at Madrid, posted a message of support on Instagram. He was joined by Neymar, a fellow Brazilian star who also experienced racial abuse when he played for Barcelona in Spain. 🇫🇷🤝🇧🇷

The latest incident will prompt fresh scrutiny on the federation and Spanish soccer, especially as they seek global support to host the 2030 World Cup in collaboration with Portugal and Morocco.

“We have a problem related to behavior, education, and racism,” the president of the Spanish soccer federation, Luis Rubiales, confessed at a news conference on Monday. “And as long as there is one fan or one group of fans hurling insults based on sexual orientation, skin color, or belief, then we have a serious problem.” 🏆🌍🤔
