Vinicius Junior Threatens Walk-Off Over Racism
News summary

Real Madrid forward Vinicius Junior has announced that he and his teammates will walk off the pitch if they experience any racist abuse during the upcoming season. This decision comes after Vinicius has faced significant racial harassment, which has taken an emotional toll, leading him to break down in a press conference earlier this year. He emphasized the need for stronger actions against racism, stating that it is crucial for the perpetrators to face severe penalties. Recently, three Valencia fans were sentenced to eight months in prison for racially abusing him during a match, marking a significant legal response to hate crimes in football. Vinicius believes that the fear of repercussions is starting to change attitudes among fans in Spain, though he acknowledges that racism will not be completely eradicated overnight. He remains committed to advocating for change within the sport and supporting those affected by racism.
