A Black Italian rugby player accused his team mates of racism after they gave him a “rotten banana” during a ‘Secret Santa’ anonymous gift exchange
A Black Italian rugby player accused his team mates of racism on Wednesday after they gave him a “rotten banana” during a ‘Secret Santa’ anonymous gift exchange. Cherif Traore wrote on Instagram that he received the unwanted present, inside a rubbish bag, during a Christmas dinner with fellow Benetton Treviso players. “Apart from finding it an offensive gesture, what hurt me the most was to see that most of my team mates who were present were laughing. As if it was all normal,” he said.
“I decided not to keep quiet this time to ensure that episodes like this do not happen again,” he said, adding that such behavior would be “seriously condemned outside of Italy.” Benetton Rugby said in a statement they had “always condemned with the utmost firmness any expression of racism and/or form of discrimination” and the incident involving Traore “has nothing to do with sport”.
