The Champions League incident between Vinicius Jr and Gianluca Prestianni is being cited as an example of how football tolerates casual homophobia. The game was paused for 10 minutes to follow FIFA's new anti-racism protocol, after Prestianni was seen covering his mouth with his shirt before allegedly calling Vinicius a racial slur, ‘monkey,’ according to his teammates. Prestianni denied the accusation, saying the Brazilian misheard him and that he actually used the homophobic slur, ‘f*****’ instead. #vini #premiereleague #uefa
