The Real Madrid forward’s claim that La Liga are ‘doing nothing’ about racist abuse was met with an angry response from the league’s president
continues to do nothing,” Vinícius wrote on Twitter. “I will continue with my head held high and celebrating my victories and those of Madrid.”
La Liga issued a statement condemning all forms of hate speech and saying it was following up on instances of racism at the match. The president of La Liga, Javier Tebas, responded to Vinícius with a strongly-worded tweet labelling his accusations as “unfair and untrue”. “At La Liga, I’ve been fighting racism for years,” Tebas wrote. “@vinijr it is unfair and untrue to publish that ‘@laliga does nothing about racism’. We are at your disposal so that together, we can walk in the same direction.” Tebas also posted a link to the official statement, which included examples of previous action taken by the league.
“La Liga has detected racist insults from someone [in] the stands of the Zorrilla stadium, published on social networks,” the statement read. “These events will be reported to the Anti-Violence Commission and the Hate Crimes Prosecutor’s Office, as has been done on other occasions.”
