Until Arsenal are no longer top of the league, which is what most people including some Arsenal fans want, I can't bring myself to be that annoyed. I believe in my team. See you at the trophy parade.
Griezmann literally did the hotline bling dance for a year straight then the fortnite dance and no one racially abused him or was given a yellow card or said he was provoking fans
You people championed Diego Costa, adore Ibrahimovic, you love Gattuso, you think Vardy’s celebrations are shithousery. But Vinicius who hasn’t done half of what these guys do is the arrogant bastard.
"Provocative" "Flashy" "Loud"
Words used to describe black footballers, who are extroverts.
Pogba
Vini
Bellingham
Sterling
Society wants "humble" and "quiet" black footballers like Kante.
Subliminal messaging is done by commentators and the media.
Do not fall for it.
🗣️ Kylian Mbappé: “Vini has went through a lot.
I think these things against Vini need to STOP, because it’s not possible for a human to have this much against him.
Vini isn’t the devil, he’s not a bad person, he’s a player who tries to bring you joy.
He makes mistakes, like everyone in the world, but he never deserves what happened to him today.”
🚨 Thierry Henry: “I don’t care (if Vini Jr.’s celebration was provocative). I want to know what Prestianni said.
I REFUSE to discuss the celebration. I don’t even want to discuss it.
Prestianni, WHAT DID YOU SAY? This is all we want to know.” @CBSSports
When anyone reports discrimination in football, or anywhere, the first priority is that they are listened to and feel supported.
Focusing on Vinicius Jr’s goal celebration or the history of the club, instead of acknowledging the report, is a form of gaslighting.
This approach not only harms the individual affected but also sends the wrong message to others around the world who may have experienced similar situations.
Leaders in football have a crucial role in setting standards, and moments like these call for responsible leadership that reinforces respect, inclusion, and accountability.
We look forward to a thorough investigation into this incident, with appropriate accountability linked to the outcome.
The idea that Vini is unlikeable and antagonising is ridiculous and absurd. Dancing triggers you, confidence triggers you, players who are enjoying themselves on the field trigger you. Maybe you are the issue. I hope he keeps 🕺 at every stadium and after every goal.
🚨 Wayne Rooney: “Celebration? Why can’t he celebrate like this? We saw these celebrations become iconic at World Cups.
Why can’t he celebrate like that?”
