Napoli defender Juan Jesus says it is 바카라difficult to comprehend바카라 the decision not to punish Inter Milan바카라s Francesco Acerbi over allegations of racism. (More Football News)
Brazilian Jesus accused Italy international Acerbi of an abusive comment relating to skin colour during a 1-1 draw between their clubs earlier this month.
But the case was dismissed by a Serie A sports judge on Tuesday due to a lack of evidence.
Jesus feels 바카라very bitter바카라 about the verdict and believes his complaint may have been treated differently if he had not responded 바카라as a gentleman바카라.
바카라I have read several times and with great disappointment the decision of the sports judge, who felt there was no evidence that I was the victim of a racist,바카라 said the 32-year-old in a lengthy statement released with his legal representatives.
바카라While respecting the decision, it is one I find difficult to comprehend and it leaves me feeling very bitter.
바카라Quite honestly I am crestfallen by such a serious incident in which my only mistake was that I dealt with it 바카라as a gentleman바카라, deciding not to interrupt an important game, with all the inconvenience that would have caused the spectators watching the match.
바카라I did so believing that such an attitude would have been respected, and perhaps taken as an example.
바카라Following this decision, I imagine that anyone else finding themselves in a similar situation to mine will act in a very different manner, in order to protect themselves and to curb the disgrace of racism, which, sadly, we are struggling to rid ourselves of.바카라
According to Jesus, Acerbi apologised on the pitch before changing his version of events the following day.
The 36-year-old Inter player publicly protested his innocence but agreed to withdraw from Italy바카라s squad for games against Venezuela and Ecuador after discussing the matter with national team manager Luciano Spalletti.
Judge Gerardo Mastrandrea suggested Acerbi바카라s comments may have been offensive but could not determine whether they were of a racist nature.
Jesus fears the episode could 바카라set a serious precedent for justifying certain behaviour after the event바카라 but expressed hope it may help the football world reflect on the 바카라serious and urgent바카라 issue of racism.
바카라I really do not understand how 바카라go away negro, you바카라re just a negro바카라 can be considered to be certainly offensive but not discriminatory,바카라 continued Jesus바카라 statement.
바카라I do not understand all the commotion that evening if it really was 바카라just an insult바카라, for which Acerbi himself felt the need to apologise, the referee decided to notify VAR, the match was suspended for over a minute and his team-mates hurried to speak to me.
바카라I cannot fathom why Acerbi only started to change his version of the events the following day while with the national team, instead of denying it immediately after the match, when it actually happened.
바카라I didn바카라t expect it to end like this. I fear 바카라 and I hope I am wrong 바카라 that this could set a serious precedent for justifying certain behaviour after the event.
바카라I sincerely hope that this sad matter can help the world of football to reflect on an issue that is both serious and urgent.바카라
