Edinson Cavani has been the name on everyone’s lips in the last 24 hours.
The Uruguayan forward was United’s hero against Southampton at St Mary’s on Sunday.
Cavani came off the bench at half-time and assisted once and scored twice for United to win 3-2.
But he found himself under fire for his actions on social media after the game.
The former PSG striker used the word ‘negrito’ on Instagram while thanking a friend. The post was available to view its story before it was removed.
The publication is now under investigation and many outlets, including The Guardian, have reported that it could face a three-game suspension.
Since then, Cavani has written a public apology.
Gary Neville was an expert on Sky Sports on Monday night.
And he spoke passionately about how more education needs to be implemented to prevent this from happening again.
“We hear the words education and training and yet soccer is still unable to implement a mandatory curriculum for its players, its members and its fans,” Neville told Sky Sports.
“Why is Edinson Cavani not receiving diversity inclusion training and education the moment he arrives in this country?
“If we are really going to eradicate discrimination in this country, it has to become part of the curriculum, in school and in sports.
“Every employer in the country has to enter a diversity inclusion training program, implement it and execute it.
“Even to this day, in soccer, we have banners, players who kneel, wave flags in the air and wear badges on their chests, where education and training are. This could have been avoided.
“We will continue to see incidents like this where Cavani reposted that the Instagram story had no idea he was doing something wrong. And in 24 hours he has to apologize for it.”
Neville then blamed the Premier League among other organizations for not providing enough training.
“The Premier League, the FA, the EFL, the LMA and the PFA,” he replied when asked who is to blame. “Everyone is funded, everyone has a lot of money, they implement a set of protocols and processes of diversity inclusion that are fixed and that the five buy.
“We have five different slogans (BLM, Show Racism the Red Card, No Room for Racism, Kick it Out, Players Together) and they can’t even come together in a singular campaign on something they should be one in. At least collaborate on major issues. that are social.
“Take it out of the game, eliminate discrimination and it must be done through education and training.
“That means that players and everyone who participates in this game, including us, will receive biweekly or monthly training on including diversity and why people take offense at certain words and why some people don’t. If it offends someone, it’s a problem. “
