Why is this particular player subject to racist abuse in Spain, and his native country, Brazil?

Success is the best offense. Don’t let the b@st@rds wear you down.

Muhammad Ali and George Foreman and Dennis Rodman and Jackie Robinson and Michael Jordan did not reply to requests for comment.
But some coaches are thinking they donโ€™t want whining pansy-ass sissies on their team.
Is this ball-player some special case? Pathetic.
Get a job in an air-conditioned office if you are that soft.

He’s a great player. Maybe he should read Jackie Robinson’s biography and realize it’s tough today, but never as bad as last century.

Good question. Also, the article doesn’t say what specific racist abuse has taken place.

People can be real cretins about sportball.

I suppose IF he WAS a globohomo tranny he could attract many totally insane fans who would attack the detractors.
The world isnโ€™t a fair place.

Ya know, that was a very lengthy article and what I DIDN’T see was what the alleged “racism” was.

I’m not saying it’s not happening but it would be a far more thorough story if it referenced at least ONE example.

Is espn is so woke they’re afraid they may offend someone’s delicate sensibilities perhaps?

If he’s a good player, then racism is all the lowlifes have got.

Since he is considered one of the best in the world, they can’t mock his skills.

The bottom feeders are jealous and doing what bottom feeders do. Me, I would laugh at every insult knowing that I’m living rent free in their heads.

The statement “All lives matter” was deemed racist by some people. Without specifics, it’s hard to get worked up.

In the meantime, Democrats are implementing a plan of bringing in non-citizens to vote in the 2024 election, and to alter future census results and Congressional representation. We are talking about machine politics on a national scale. Might as well live in the old Soviet Union.

With new technology, digital currencies, mandatory shots, facial recognition, etc., Biden, or his propped-up corpse, may be the greatest dictatorship the world has ever seen.

He should join the NFL, and just kick extra points. He'll fit right in.

He thinks that’s abuse. That’s nothing compared to what English fans chant at players, white or black.
