Unpleasant episode that happened to the FIFA pro player SpiderKong, who found himself against a user whose team name was an insult to Vinicius Jr.

A new case of racism linked to Vinicius Jr., this time on virtual fields, has made its way online in recent days. The Real Madrid star was unwillingly the target of racist chants in the away match against Valencia, an episode that caused a stir in the global football community. However, the echo of the story was not enough to prevent such cases from happening again, as evidenced by what happened on FIFA 23.

The case –

As it reports Dexertothe FIFA 23 pro player SpiderKong found himself playing against an online user who had given his team the name of “Monicius Jr”, where “mono” means “monkey” in Spanish (the same insult moved by some of the Valencia fans in the match of 21 May). The player in question had also chosen the Valencia logo for his team. The episode was also reported on social media, where – this is the case with the tweet that we leave embedded below – there was no lack of condemnations from the healthy part of the FIFA 23 community.

The reaction of the FIFA pro player —

SpiderKong himself reacted with outrage to the episode. “Do you guys see this subject’s team name? He’s using the Valencia logo and the name Monicius Jr. I’ll bring this motherfucker back after the game. He must be banned ”, immediately exclaimed the pro player, who at the time was broadcasting his matches live. At the time of writing, there is no news relating to the transformation of the streamer’s signal into a real ban, but greater control by EA Sports on the choice of names from now on is certainly desirable. Seven people had instead been arrested in connection with racist insults directed at the Brazilian winger, moreover one of the testimonials of FIFA 23.
