everyone at the league office deserves to be fired immediately if for no other reason than allowing Kasey Keller to call matches
Griezmann is like single-handedly saving Simeone's Atleti job. There was growing talk about Atleti needing to move on from him as late as like January. But Griezmann has gone pretty crazy and put the team on his back this year and they could possibly finish 2nd? Crazy
Atleti going to have their work cut out for them to finish in second with games against Sociedad and Villa
was talking about Valencia just from twitter I see that Valencia defender used a 2nd ball to stop an attack Vinicius got sent off in a scuffle where he got headlocked half the stadium yelled monkey at him after
I kinda figured. Didn’t watch the game but saw the highlights. I’ll have to go back and watch the the second half.
also Liga is an absolute farce for allowing this shit to continue you have like a quarter of the stadium screaming racist shit for 15+ minutes and the response is to make a generic announcement over the PA system? Absolute joke and wish Carlo would have pulled they players and walked the fuck off the pitch
If the league isn't going to do shit about the racism, Vini should push for a move to the Premier League. Please.
Imagine being La Liga and watching one of, if not the, best players in your league suffer this type of abuse and you do absolutely nothing about it. Over and over.
sooner or these later guys are gonna get sick of dealing with this bullshit and want out, and who the fuck could blame them? Even setting aside the fact that actually addressing it is the basic, decent human thing to do the leagues refusal to not take this seriously sends a horrible message to every other young player throughout the world. If they're not gonna lift the first fucking finger to protect a global superstar from this garbage why the hell would I think they'd give a damn if/when it happens to me? I've been critical of the Club for not coming out and taking a stronger stance on all of this and I'm afraid its going to reach a tipping point if they don't. Perez & the board need to hold Tebas and his band of fucking sycophants to the fire and demand some kind of bold action because it's beyond outrageous at this point.
For real, his teammates are going to have to walk off the field in his support for anything to change. And make the league deal with the mess that would follow.
I wish thats what they would have done the moment the match was stopped clearly the only thing the league gives a good god damn about is money and it's going to take a threat to that revenue before any meaningful action is considered. The Club needs to use their considerable influence here.
its almost beyond belief but this is the actual, honest to god response to Vini's tweet from the president of La Liga. The head of one of the top leagues in the world legitimately responded to a black man's experiencing racial abuse with this and its just about the perfect encapsulation as to why the league is quickly falling so far behind the PL
I still believe that Tebas is completely in the pocket for Real Madrid, but it seems he's just so fucking racist that he won't even do anything to help a black player on Madrid. Racism trumps all
The ballers coming out in support of vini is at least great to see. Messi’s silence is deafening though.
the club has really failed him thus far and has to take some kind of drastic action to prove they’re serious
it’s obscene that a 22 year old kid has to be the one leading the way but he (or his team) has handled things exceptionally well to this point
lots of people shout “silly” in unison all the time, it just happens to sound like a super racist word
I keep seeing a lot of responses that they were yelling Tonto. Obviously a cover, why would these idiots be only yelling Tonto when Vini is playing? And all the videos I have seen have sounded more like Mono to me In Mexico you use Tonto when talking about your kid doing something dumb. In a setting like a game, if you are calling someone an idiot everyone is yelling pendejo
They must have been watching an old broadcast of Valencia v Madrid Where, I'm sure it was happening still, but not by the entire stadium with the camera running
