The fan, reportedly a 20-year-old Mallorca season ticket holder, is accused of calling Real Madrid forward Vinícius and Villarreal midfielder Chukwueze a monkey Spain’s anti-violence commission has already proposed a fine of $4,300 and a 12-month ban from stadiums for the fan MADRID: Spanish club Mallorca handed the fan who racially insulted players Vinícius Júnior and Samu Chukwueze a three-year ban from club membership on Tuesday. The fan, reportedly a 20-year-old Mallorca season ticket holder, is accused of calling Real Madrid forward Vinícius and Villarreal midfielder Chukwueze a monkey in separate Spanish league games this year. Both Vinicius and Chukwueze are Black. Spain’s anti-violence commission has already proposed a fine of 4,000 euros ($4,300) and a 12-month ban from stadiums for the fan, who may also face criminal charges. He was identified by club security officials. “RCD Mallorca are against all xenophobic manifestations and will continue to work actively to eradicate this scourge,” said the club, whose president is American Andy Kohlberg. Vinícius was also insulted after the Mallorca match when he stopped to pose for photos and sign autographs for fans. The Brazilian has been subjected to insults since arriving in Spain five years ago, though little has been done to punish fans. Valladolid recently suspended 12 season ticket holders while investigating their alleged verbal abuse of Vinícius. The first trial against a fan who racially insulted a player in Spain is expected to begin this year following remarks by an Espanyol supporter against Athletic Bilbao forward Iñaki Williams a few years ago. The Spanish league has filed several complaints to authorities for racist insults or chants against Vinícius, with some of them being shelved by prosecutors. The league has also increased the number of overseers at matches to try to identify perpetrators, especially when Vinícius plays. Authorities have yet to find those responsible for hanging Vinícius’ effigy from a bridge in Madrid before the derby against Atletico Madrid earlier this year. The attacks against Vinícius increased after he began celebrating his goals by dancing.
