With football's ability to unite and entertain people from all over the world, it's still not free from the most contagious disease of all time, racism. Most players, regardless of their race, are susceptible to some type of abuse while enjoying the beautiful game of football, but for many years now, Black players have suffered the most. Black players from Africa and across the world, have suffered from racism for decades. To this date, they are still sweltering with the heat of injustice and oppression. Racist fans use monkey noises, bananas and racist banners to abuse our beloved Black footballers on and off the pitch. This is an absolutely dehumanizing form of discrimination, which is unacceptable and intolerable. Racism is like cancer or HIV/AIDS. It can kill you emotionally, mentally and physically just like cancer kills almost every cell in the body, or a virus that destroys the entire immune system. The most chilling act of racism in the last game of the 2022/ 2023 La Liga season in May 2023, towards Vinicius Jr., one of the most talented players in the modern football today, sparked the debate throughout the world about the issue of racism in football. During a league match between Real Madrid and Valencia at Mestalla Stadium, Vinicius Jr. was subjected to racial abuse from Valencia fans. Vinicius Jr. is not the only player who has suffered in the hands of racists. We have so many talented players who have suffered while playing football. My main goal of writing this book is to list examples of players who have suffered racial abuse and other means racists use to abuse our beloved players in a beautiful game. The actions that were taken by those who were involved. And if they acted, did it work? And if it didn't work, what did they do afterwards? Considering that racism itself is unacceptable and it should never be allowed to take place anywhere. Even if it's far from this planet.
