Mario Balotelli suffers racist abuse as incidents continue in Serie A

CNN  

CNN — Italian football club Hellas Verona has been given a one-match partial stadium closure following racist abuse aimed at Brescia striker Mario Balotelli. Verona also confirmed earlier on Tuesday that it had banned the head of the club’s Ultras Supporters Group, Luca Castellini, from its matches until June 30, 2030 for “considerations and expressions utterly contrary to the ethical principles and values of this club.” In an interview with Radio Cafe on Monday, Castellini said that Verona fans were merely being “irreverent” and that Balotelli could never be considered completely Italian. There are many black guys who wear yellow-blue from Youth to the First Team, racism is a discourse that for us does not exist and Verona is not the right place for such generalizations.” Video Ad Feedback Joao Mario on racism and Cristiano Ronaldo 03:01 - Source: CNN Brescia backs Balotelli But Brescia backed Balotelli and took issue with Verona’s stance of attempting to “deny or minimize the gravity of the incident. “What happened in the affected area of the pitch was not only heard by Brescia’s players, but also by the opponents, and presumable by the referee, considering televised images that show teammates, opponents, and referees repeatedly trying to convince Balotelli not to leave the pitch.” A stadium announcement was made saying both teams would leave the field if the abuse didn’t stop as the match was halted for a few minutes.
