Alves Banana - campaign against racism
Looking at today and how developed we have became and all the technologies we use, I feel shocked that racism still exist everywhere around the world, in everyday life, in work and worst of all in sports the only thing that must fun spirit and unites people.
On Sunday Barcelona defender Dani Alves responded to a racist taunt when a banana landed at his feet during Sunday's game at Villarreal by picking up the fruit, peeling and then eating it before proceeding to take a corner kick.
Alves said after the match that humour is the best way to combat racism in sports.
"We have suffered this in Spain for some time being black among a European team," Alves said. "You have to take it with a dose of humour. We aren't going to change things easily.
"If you don't give it importance, they don't achieve their objective."
Alves has often been subjected to racist taunts and called fighting racism "a lost war" in January 2013, after segments of Real Madrid's fans abused him with monkey chants during a match.
During the match, Alves had already played a key part in sparking his team's 3-2 comeback when his off-target shot was turned into an own goal Gabriel Armando in the 65th.
And shortly after the banana incident, Alves launched a cross that Mateo Musacchio headed into his own goal in the 78th before Lionel Messi scored Barcelona's winner so he thanked the offensive fan to give him energy for scoring that goal.
The win kept Barcelona four points from league leader Atletico Madrid.
Now people around the world gathered to stop this kind of nonsense by taking pictures with a banana to support Dani’s goal.
