Marca: The outside world treats Vinicius with double standards, with the same gesture, others are heroes but he is a villain

Marca wrote about Vinicius's controversy, saying that many people only focus on the controversy itself, ignoring other people doing the same thing, and ignoring the unfair treatment Vinicius himself suffered.

I don't know if many people realize that Vinicius was attacked in his first game in Spain. He was not allowed to dance when celebrating a goal. He was not allowed to fight back against racism, not to mention the various troubles he suffered in seven or eight La Liga stadiums (such as hanging dolls, etc.).

Vinicius did not receive sympathy when telling his story of fighting racism, but was instead considered a story made up for his ESPN documentary.

And now it is the silence gesture that is being attacked. For Merino, Pique, Suarez, Messi, Griezmann, Ronaldo and Raul, this gesture is a manifestation of heroism and rebellion. But for him, it seems to have become synonymous with villains.

The outside world always says that Spain is a tolerant and non-racist country, but it keeps telling a black boy what he can or cannot do, what is right, what is wrong, what he should or should not say. For Vinicius, the situation becomes extremely complicated.
