Reports of racial abuse aimed at him last night from a Benfica player after excessively celebrating his goal last night. Game delayed for 10 minutes and Mourinho defending Benfica as a club that wouldn’t be racist due to Eusebio being a legend there.
Is he the only one reporting racial abuse, or is he receiving more due to his on-field actions? Or, potentially, does he report any sort of insult as a racial slur?
Im 100% not defending the potential abuser here, as an investigation will naturally have to take place, but in the words of Balotelli “why always him?”

The player allegedly making the comments pulling his shirt up over his mouth before anything is "said" certainly isnt a great look.
Unless anyone else around has heard it then its a case of 2 peoples polar opposite accounts and no evidence so very hard to determine an outcome.

He`s not the only black player to have claimed these things are still happening in world football. Maybe it`s just getting more publicity because of the level he`s at. I really doubt he`s making the claims up. he has every right to celebrate his goal without having to endure racial abuse.
Life is made of small moments like these

Good post, TrancePar.
I wouldn`t say every player dishing out racial abuse is necessarily racist, but they leave themselves wide open to the charge. Some will just be looking to wind up their opponent to put him off his game or maybe even get him red carded. Making racist remarks is completely on another level from having a go at an opponent who has a big nose or red hair, however, even if the intention is the same.
Not your average Sunday League player.

^^^ Every level of dished out racial abuse is 100% racist.
We must never fall into any trap that that dictates otherwise. This will be ill-educated
