“Dirty monkey”, scandal after a match stopped for racism in District

Clearly, human stupidity has not ended. On December 15, US Villeveyrac hosted AS Celleneuve in a Departmental 2 match. A match which turned into nonsense after half an hour of play. Following a goal refused to the locals, certain supporters would have insulted the captain of the ASC, as confided by the latter to our colleagues from Midi-Libre. “They called me Kirikou and a dirty monkey,” he said. “It’s the first time it’s gone this far. I’ve been insulted before but never to this extent. I can’t erase in my head the moment when I was called a little monkey” continues Kévin Salvador . In the process, US Villeveyrac “categorically denied any racist remarks emanating from its players or supporters” following these revelations.

“US Villeveyrac and its leaders defend fundamental values ​​such as living together, sharing and mutual respect. We firmly condemn any form of discrimination, whether racist, homophobic, sexist, or other, whether on a football field or in any other circumstance We do not tolerate any behavior that goes against these principles and we are committed to actively combating such attitudes” continues the press release from the club based in Hérault. Several players from the visiting team decided to file a complaint with the Mèze gendarmerie for “racist insults”. The District of Hérault has been made aware of this matter and should soon comment on this subject.
