News summary

In a notable development against racism in Spanish football, a fan has been fined €60,001 and banned from attending sporting events for two years after being found guilty of racially abusing Real Madrid's Vinicius Junior on social media. The Anti-Violence Commission classified the abuse as 'very serious' and has referred the case to the public prosecutor to determine if it constitutes a hate crime. This sanction follows a growing trend of severe penalties, including a previous eight-month prison sentence given to three Valencia fans for similar abuse during a match. Vinicius has become a prominent figure in the fight against racism, asserting that he will leave the pitch if he hears insults from fans. The commission's actions reflect a heightened sensitivity and commitment to addressing racist behavior in Spanish football. Furthermore, another fan is facing similar penalties for racist insults during a recent match, indicating ongoing efforts to combat discriminatory conduct in sports.
