They really don't get it or have a clue what they are doing. It's like watching a car crash in slow motion.

Someone somewhere in the FIGC headquarters is having the laugh of a lifetime

 

[DAiDEViL]

To be fair, the guy they chose is notorious for painting chimps. The questionable thing is to have chosen his creations

Imagine it's just the first step from the Serie A headquarters.

Tomorrow all black players wake up to have a chimp picture in their postbox.

i don't think it's deliberate trolling. they are simply this stupid.

Tomorrow is Koulibaly mow's ADL lawn day.

 

[X Æ A-12]

it's like the "black friday" front page from cds: it looks like an actual racist trying to pretend he's anti-racist, and completely misses the point.

nah this is so much worse than CDS imo.

i want to say whoever chose this is intentionally giving the middle finger to Serie A's black players but who knows, napoli fans did blackface to support koulibaly

It's almost like they are "decades behind"

Apparently they picked the guy in May before Coppa final. They had only 7 months to realize this is stupid.

i mean this guy was the figc president for years:

and they elected him after his clearly racist comments he made during his presidential campaign.

imagine the strong ethical norms when applying for any job at the federation.

and inda fans defended the cagliari ultras who abused their own player because monkey chants were just some form of innocent folklore.

We moan about money in serie A, at this rate no-one would be willing to invest in a racist league, foreign players would avoid the league like plague, fans across the global will switch their allegiance. It brings nothing but shame, not only those in and around serie A, etc but to our club and us as fans.

This. These dinosaurs don’t realize they need to appeal to a global audience. They genuinely don’t realize what’s racist and what’s not, and yet are not asking for help.

my impression gas long been that some of these folks dont actually care about growing the league or making controversial decisions.

they got cushy jobs at the figc because of friends/connections and are primarily interested in collecting paychecks while making as little change as possible because change is risky and requires effort

 

[JCK]

Are they for real?

Probably. FIGC president apparently makes a hefty sum of 36k Euros a year. These guys are anachronisms comparing to guys like Agnelli, and even merda owners.

“I only paint monkeys as a metaphor for human beings. We turn the concept back on the racists, as we are all monkeys originally. So I painted a Western monkey, an Asian monkey and a black monkey.”

 

[j0ker]

hahahahahahahahahahaahahahahahaha

what the actual fuck?!

 

[Powis]

Good intentions mixed up with zero understanding of the situation.

And according to Putin's tax declaration he only owns a garage and an old motorcycle from soviet era


Great initiative against racism btw: Inter chimp, Viola chimp and Napoli chimp
