Live Broadcast Bar, March 28th: Serie A previously announced that it had acquitted Inter Milan defender Acerbi due to insufficient evidence for accusations of racial discrimination and would not suspend him. The person involved, Naples defender Juan, issued a statement. He said that he did not understand why "go away nigger" could be considered insulting but not discriminatory.
Juan Jesus statement:
"I have read the decision of the sports judge several times and am very disappointed to find that he did not find that I was the victim of a racially-motivated insult during Inter Milan's match against Napoli on March 17. .While I respect the decision, it's hard to understand and it leaves me feeling very bitter.
"Honestly, I'm very upset about such a serious incident and my only mistake was that I handled it "in a gentlemanly manner" It was decided not to disrupt such an important match as it would cause inconvenience to all those watching the match. I do this because I believe that I will be respected for this attitude and perhaps be seen as a role model.
"After this verdict, I imagine anyone else in a similar situation would have handled it very differently in order to protect themselves and curb the shame of racism.
"I don't feel like this decision protected me in any way because It both admitted that there was 'certain evidence of insult' and insisted that there was no definite evidence of discriminatory conduct which I had perceived 'in good faith'. I really don't understand how 'go away nigga, you're just a nigger' can be considered an actual insult without being discriminatory. "
" I don't understand why there was so much uproar that night - if it was just 'an insult' Acerbi would have felt he needed to apologize and the referee would have decided to inform var and the game was interrupted for over a minute, he My teammates would rush to talk to me.
"I can't understand why Acerbi only started to change his story about the whole incident the next day with the national team, instead of immediately denying it after the game, when the incident actually happened.
"I didn't expect that. This is how it will end. I'm concerned - and I hope I'm wrong - that this may set a serious precedent for certain actions to be justified in the future after this incident. I sincerely hope that this (for me) sad question will help the football community reflect on an issue that is both serious and urgent. "
(End of statement)
Previously, due to lack of evidence, the Serie A sports judge acquitted Francisco Acerbi of accusations of racist insults against Juan Jesus. Therefore, no punishment will be imposed on the player.
Official The press release made it clear that racial discrimination should be punished with a severe ban if found to be true. However, in this incident, the only evidence was only one side of Juan's words. Therefore, the sports judge ruled that the evidence was insufficient and Acerbi was not guilty.
Previously During the match between Inter Milan and Naples, Naples' black defender Juan and Acerbi had a dispute. At that time, Juan complained to the referee and Acerbi called himself "negro".
