El hincha más famoso del Feyenoord apareció 20 años después

La icónica imagen se ha utilizado como un meme de internet desde hace 20 años

El Feyenoord de Países Bajos y la Roma de la Serie A disputaron este día la final de la Conference League o la Europa League 2, con triunfo del equipo italiano que dirige Jose Mourinho al que no se le resiste ninguna copa.

Un dato muy curioso sucedió en el estadio, más allá de la batalla campal entre hinchadas de ambos equipos en lo que ya parece ser una constante en el futbol europeo, pues uno de los hinchas más famosos del equipo reapareció y revivió una vieja foto.

Se trata de Mikey Wilson de 25 años de edad que hace 20 años fue captado en un momento icónico del mundo hooligan pues hizo una seña con el dedo medio mientras su padre lo cargaba en sus hombros convirtiéndose en una de las imágenes más virales de principios de siglo.

Al igual que hace 20 años, a Mike se le puede ver acompañado de su familia en el mismo lugar de siempre en los partidos en casa, la sección Z del estadio, cuatro generaciones de amor al Feyenoord que hasta uno de sus hermanos se llama Brian Feyenoord y nació en Bélgica para poder llamarse así.

La icónica imagen se ha utilizado como un meme de internet desde hace 20 años totalmente fuera de contexto del momento real, pero resultó muy curioso ver a estos dos personajes juntos en la final en la ciudad e Tirana en Albania apoyando a su equipo como siempre lo han hecho.

Italian soccer is dealing with a massive racism problem. Then a major soccer newspaper wrote a super racist headline.

Italy is in the midst of a major racism scandal. The Corriere dello Sport decided that was the perfect time to make a racist joke.

Italian soccer has come under fire over the past year for many abhorrent instances of racism, which the Italian FA and Serie A (their top domestic league) has time and again dismissed as nothing much to worry about.

Juventus’ dazzling young striker Moise Kean walked away from the Serie A to go play for an awful Everton team because he was so sick of the monkey chants he was subjected to on the field, chants his own captain refused to back him up over.

Inter Milan’s Romelu Lukaku has also been subjected to multiple instances of racist abuse, which fans and administrators alike have dismissed as not being that big a deal, or a misunderstanding, or just the actions of a few bad apples.

No one there seems to want to do anything about it, and while the rest of the world looks on in horror, the publisher of Corriere dello Spot, a major sporting newspaper in Italy, decided now was the time to make a “Black Friday” joke.

The headline is concerning the Friday matchup between Inter Milan and their striker Romelu Lukaku, and Roma and their central defender Chris Smalling. The match is on Friday. Both players are black. That’s the “joke.”

It’s hard to tell if this is one of the stupidest attempts at tone deaf humor you’ll ever see in sporting journalism, or an antagonistic, trolling act of defiance from people in Italian football. You call us racist? Wait until you see how racist we can get!
