Don't be fooled in thinking racism is isolated to Europe.A recent story takes us to South America, where an Argentine (Maxi Lopez of Gremio) allegedly had some names for a black Brazilian opponent (Elicarlos of Cruzeiro).
"The striker Maxi Lopez called me a macaco (monkey), he said that to me," Elicarlos told reporters after Cruzeiro's 3-1 victory in Belo Horizonte, adding that he would report the incident to the police.Lovely stuff.
Elicarlos, who is black, and former River Plate and Barcelona striker Lopez had a heated argument on the pitch during the first half of the match at the Mineirao with other angry Cruzeiro players also getting involved.
The Gremio team bus went straight to the police station from the stadium to report the incident.
Good to take it seriously. Racist punks.

they blamed Maxi Lopez without judging... i bet Elicarlos named Maxi as a son of a bitch Argentinian and is that correct?... media don't say anything about calling names like bitch or fag... racism is not correct, of course, but during the game they both can be over pressure and that don't need to be a prison matter.
