The outcome of Brazil and Argentina seems to have surrounded the lives of a few with a lot of predicaments. The latest one to get affected is Rodrygo, who admitted to receiving a lot of racist and insensitive messages on his social media. The Real Madrid star posted a black-and-white picture of himself and added a long caption. He wrote, “The racists are always on duty. My social media has been invaded with insults and all sorts of nonsense.
“It’s here for all to see! If we don’t do what they want, if we don’t behave like they think we should, if we dress something that bothers them, if we don’t bow our heads when attacked, if we occupy spaces they think are theirs, the racists will move into action with their criminal behavior”. Rodrygo then concluded, “Unlucky for them We will not stop!”.
