World News – CA – Journalist Salvador Sostres tries to apologize for racist comments on FC Barcelona’s Ansu Fati – TechnoSports

In response to the incident of Ansu Fati’s racist comments, journalist Salvador Sostres issued a public apology to Ansu Fati via ABC media

What is surprising, however, is the fact that he apologized for the comments which saw many take offense, but not for the straightforward nature of the racist comments themselves.

In some context, these statements were made by Sostres during his post-match preview of Barcelona against Ferencvaros in the UEFA Champions’ League Originally written in Spanish, the comments loosely translated into Fati, reminding the reporter  » black street vendors who fled when they saw the police arriving ”

Ansu Fati was the star of this match, scoring 1 goal and creating another for Coutinho His cunning and ability to dribble saw him prove to be a constant headache for Ferencvaros’ defense This ensures that Barcelona have got off to a winning start in their pursuit of the Champions League, a competition they have not won in the past five seasons.

So it is very disappointing to see a senior member of the Barcelona squad subjected to such racist treatment at this time and time It only reiterates the need for education and awareness on such sensitive social issues, where footballers have been subject to similar incidents over the years of playing the sport.

Although it is not clear at the moment, Barcelona could decide to pursue legal action against the media Racism is always something totally unacceptable, and crossing the lines should always have the necessary repercussions

Either way, Ansu Fati himself will want to put an end to this incident and focus on the football he is so particularly good at.He recently signed a new five-year contract extension with the club and was awarded the No.22 jersey, making him a regular member of the first team After a 2019/20 season, he will want to make an additional impact for Barcelona and Spain
