When a professional soccer player is competing against another team on their home turf, they do not expect it to be easy. They expect to be booed when they enter the pitch and jeered at when they make a bad play. The player expects to walk into an unpleasant environment, and the home supporters never fail to give the away team a harsh welcome. However, what they do not expect, nor should the tolerate, is to receive abuse based on their skin color. Racist abuse is a rampant issue throughout soccer, and it has been put up with for far too long. One country where racial abuse is extremely common is Italy. In Italy, many black soccer players have been victims of racial abuse in stadiums and online. The New York Times reported on one such incident of racial abuse directed towards 19-year-old Juventus striker Moise Kean. On April 2, 2019, Juventus (a professional Italian soccer club) travelled to face fellow Italian opponents Cagliari in a Serie A league match. However, what would take place inside the stadium would lead to players and pundits all over the soccer world to speak out against the unacceptable racial abuse that is still an ongoing problem in Italy and across the globe.
