Whilst there is, undoubtedly, a general increase in publicly expressed racism, I feel that, in the case cited, calling it racism is to oversimplify the situation. The same team fields other players of African descent (Ruydyger, Camavinga, Rodrygo, etc) who are not, generally, targets of racist chants. Why Vinicius? Could it be because, leaving aside any consideration of colour or race, he is a despicable human being, an arrogant ill-educated imbecile who constantly, during every single match, provokes and despises rivals, the public and the referees?
