Gerson, a midfielder who has already been appointed to Benfica, is said to have been the target of racist behavior by a player from Bahia.
There is another case of alleged racism that stains football. This time it happened in Brazil, during Sunday’s game between Flamengo and Bahia, that the Rio de Janeiro team won 4-3.
Gerson, the Brazilian champions midfielder who was coached by Jorge Jesús – and has even been appointed to Benfica – revealed to have been the target of racist conduct by Juan Pablo Ramírez, a Colombian midfielder from Bahia.
“I have several games as a professional and I never came to the press to say anything because I had never suffered prejudice or was a victim. Ramírez complained to Bruno when we suffered the second goal. I went to talk to him and he said: ‘Shut up, black.’ I never said anything about it because I never suffered.
Later, through social networks, the Flamengo midfielder spoke on the issue of racism in sport: “’I love my race and I fight for color’. “Shut up black” is exactly what is not going to happen anymore. We will continue fighting for equality and respect in football, which was lacking today on the opposing side. Since I was 8 years old, when I started my football career, I hear, sometimes just by looking, the ‘shut up, nigga’. It won’t be now, “Gerson wrote on Instagram.
