Barcelona player Dani Alves had the perfect response to a racist taunt in Sunday's game against Villarreal.
In the second half, a fan threw a banana at him — something that still happens to black players with troubling frequency across Europe.
Instead of ignoring it or informing the official, Alves picked up the banana, peeled it, ate it, and then took the corner kick
with a mouth full of banana.
After the game Alves gave a great
explanation to the Guardian's Sid Lowe:
"It's been happening for 11 years, we
can't change it, so best to treat it as a
joke. If we give it no importance, they
fail."
A day later, stars like Neymar and Hulk (as well as fans) rushed to Alves' support by posting photos of themselves eating bananas on Instagram .
The campaign is called "We Are All
Monkeys," and it's pretty brilliant.
