Thuram Defends Vinicius Junior Against Racist Abuse
Lilian Thuram, ex-Barcelona defender, criticizes the racist abuse directed at Real Madrid's Vinicius Junior, emphasizing that such discrimination reflects broader societal issues.
Lilian Thuram, former defender of Barcelona, has spoken out against the racist abuse directed at Vinicius Junior of Real Madrid. Thuram asserts that these incidents are a reflection of societal racism and should not be attributed to the player's behavior on the field.
Thuram stated, "Racism in football mirrors the racism present in society. Today's world is structured in a way that people of color are subjected to the dominance of white individuals." He further noted that most individuals facing racist insults in stadiums are black, highlighting a systemic issue.
Addressing the situation with Vinicius Junior, Thuram expressed disbelief that some blame the player for the abuse he endures. "It's astonishing that a young man is subjected to racist attacks, and yet we believe his own behavior is the cause. This perspective is, in my opinion, incredible," he remarked.
