Racism in Modern Football

FIFA always campaigns for the slogan 'Say No To Racism' in every activity

MANCHESTER - Uruguay and Britain have the potential to engage in a war of views. This is related to the issue of racism in life. Edinson Cavan's case was the culprit. Previously, Cavani was considered to have committed these negative actions.

Starting from his post at the end of November 2020. At that time he was the star of Manchester United's victory over Southampton. A number of circles praised him. He then returned the compliment of one of his friends by writing the word negrito.

The English Football Federation (FA) reacted. In the local language, Cavani's writing offends any black figure. This 33-year-old man defended himself. He clarified the intent of his actions.

"It is an expression of affection for a friend. I am totally against racism and I deleted the message because it can be interpreted differently," Cavani said some time ago, quoted by the BBC , Tuesday (5/1).

The FA is still investigating. Until finally, the former Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) and Napoli striker was found guilty. The Elizabeth State Football Association punished the bomber from being involved in United's three games. Cavani also had to pay a fine of 100 thousand euros (around Rp 1.8 billion) and undergo a short education on the issue.

Herein lies the difference in views between England and the striker's home country, Uruguay. Uruguay Football Association (AUF) assess, the FA did wrong. They actually saw the organization as discriminating against Cavani and Latin American culture.

So the problem is bigger than the green field boundaries. AUF emphasized that Cavani's post cannot be interpreted subjectively as an act of insulting someone's race. It's a common expression in Latin America, when greeting someone closest, with great love.

"We ask the FA to immediately cancel the sanctions imposed on Edinson Cavani, and restore his reputation and honor in a world that has been unfairly tarnished by this despicable decision," the AUF statement said, quoted by the BBC .

The Uruguayan Footballers Association (AFU) is in sync with their federation. Influential figures from the country, such as Diego Godin to Luis Suarez, shared AUF statements through their respective social media. The question is who is acting discretely?

Each has its own argument. Fortunately all are still in one breath, namely fighting racism in football. Cavani's case is like picking up old wounds. Regardless of who the FA or AUF is, to be sure, acts of contempt for race and color are common enemies.

Several organizations are keen to fight back, including, Kick It Out. But racism still persists, even in developed countries with first-class football cultures such as Italy and England. Players like Moise Kean, Mario Balotelli, Kevin-Prince Boateng. Then Raheem Sterling until Dani Alves was a victim.

It is not uncommon for people to experience trauma, like Danny Rose when his skin color insulted him while defending the England national team against Montenegro. FIFA always campaigns for the slogan ' Say No To Racism' in their every activity. However, there is no clear sanction from each member of the federation.

In a BBC report , a group of mixed blood players from Cardiff admitted that they often received verbal abuse from the audience. But at the same time, they are disappointed, because the Football Authority of Wales often ignores incoming reports.
