#WeAreAllMonkeys!

As we all know, Dani Alves is the best in contemporary football. He plays for Barcelona. A few weeks ago, his team was playing against Villareal. Match had started horribly for Barca, because in 55^th minute they were losing 0-2. Then Alves’ got ball in right corner to take cross from corner kick. While he was preparing to kick the ball, one of the Villareal’s fans threw banana under his legs. Most of dark-skinned players would get angry, but not him. He surprised everybody, when he just got this banana and ate that. After that accident, during match his two crosses were ‘assists’ in Villareal’s players own goals. Match ended with result 3-2 for Barcelona.

After game, Dani asked about situation, thanked that fan, who had thrown banana on ground, because that gave him energy to take nice crosses and helped team to win. Dani’s friend from team – Neymar on his Instagram shared photo, where he is eating banana with signature: “#SayNoToRacism! #WeAreAllMonkeys!” and started a new campaign against racism in football.

This idea was picked up by the greatest football player, who are against racism too.

For example, Robert Lewandowski, Samuel Eto’o, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Philipe Coutinho, Sergio Aguero, Luis Suarez, Hulk, Fred, Oscar, David Luiz and many, many more.

UEFA supported this campaign on his official page on Twitter.

Let’s hope that this situation will reduce racism in upcoming World Cup in Brazil to minimum.
