Vinicius Jnr of Real Madrid promises to strongly condemn racism after being subjected to abuse 16 times in the past year and a half in Spain.
Real Madrid player Vinicius Jr has experienced racist abuse during matches in Spain. He and his teammates have decided that if any player is racially abused by fans, they will walk off the field in protest.
This decision came after a game in Valencia where Vinicius was targeted with racist insults. He believes this action will make those responsible pay a bigger price for their behavior. Despite some progress in how racism is addressed in Spain, Vinicius knows there's still work to be done to reduce racist incidents.
He is encouraged by the fact that some people have been jailed for racist behavior towards him, as this sets an important precedent for standing up against racism.
