December 17, 2024<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\u201cSpeaking of regaining respect for Brazilian football, look at him there,\u201d Ronaldo posted alongside a picture of Vinicius on his Instagram page. \u201c@vinijr, maximum respect!<\/p>\n
\u201cSixteen years have passed since the last time the trophy for best player in the world came to Brazil. Now deservedly in Vini\u2019s hands, it means much more than his decisive role in the games and the extraordinary numbers in the 2023-24 season. For the award, his talent would be enough, but his power goes far beyond the field.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are talking about one of the most valuable players today, a victim of televised racism with inconceivable frequency.<\/p>\n
\u201cHow many anonymous Viniciuses does he represent? How many victims spread all over the place?<\/p>\n
\u201cA symbol of resistance and resilience, today Vini also leads the anti-racist fight in world football, where impunity is as pernicious as the attacks.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd those who remain silent are no less racist. The omission \u2013 especially by entities and authorities that have the legal power to confront and punish such practices \u2013 further reinforces the culture of erasure and disrespect towards black people.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey tried to erase you, my friend. And you left a mark. THE BEST PLAYER IN THE WORLD IS BLACK AND BRAZILIAN.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
