Aor 2022 and racist chapters linked to the world of sport continue to occur. Racism in general is a scourge that must be eradicated from society, but it is a pity that it continues to appear in such an educational and impactful field as sport. In this case, I touched it to the Ivan Toney, Brentford’s English striker.
“fucking nigga“This was the message I received and that I did not hesitate to publish on his official Twitter and Instagram channels. “I wasn’t even going to upload it, but I woke up pissed off“. These are really some words that invite you to reflect on the number of racist messages that footballers must receive every day, how many they publish, but above all, how many no.
conflict of responsibility
Once a professional encounters that message, they decide whether or not to post it. Here appears the eternal debate on the consequences that the aggressor will have to endure by the thousands of Toney fans.
In connection with this, a fan replied: “I know you are not happy with this and I am sorry that you are receiving messages like this. But don’t forget the big impact you have, which could ruin his life after this publication. Even being in the moment, you will regret it later. Be a better man. “To which, confident and confident, the Englishman replied:”I will not regret it, believe me“.
His club supports him
How could it be otherwise, Brentford issued an official statement in which they logically condemned the events that happened the hard way, and protected their player: “Last night Ivan Toney was the subject of a disgusting racist abuse via direct message received on social media. We condemn this discriminatory behavior in the strongest terms possible. An attack on one of our players is an attack to all of us“.
