My voice will always be heard to put an end to such brutal attitudes.  \u00bb<\/p>\n<p>Brazilian international Vin\u00edcius, 23, has repeatedly been the target of racist insults from opposition supporters.  He testified earlier this month in the trial of three Valencia fans accused of racist abuse against him during a league match in May.<\/p>\n<p>Vin\u00edcius said earlier this year that &#8220;racism is normal in La Liga and opponents encourage it&#8221;.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"inline inline-photo full\">\n<figure><picture><source data- media=\"(min-width: 376px)\"><source data- media=\"(max-width: 375px)\"><img class=\" lazyload lazyload\" data-image-container=\".inline-photo\" height=\"320\" width=\"570\"\/><\/source><\/source><\/picture><figcaption class=\"photoCaption\">Real Madrid striker Vin\u00edcius J\u00fanior has been the victim of racist insults on several occasions in Spain. <cite>Jesus Ruiz\/Quality Sports Images\/Getty Images<\/cite><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/aside>\n<p>LaLiga recently unveiled a system to monitor abuse on social media as part of its fight against racism.  Last month, Javier Tebas admitted that one of his faults as La Liga president was &#8220;not having detected earlier some of the problems of racism that Spanish <a class=\"wpil_keyword_link\" href=\"https:\/\/wikidollar.net\/tag\/football\/\"   title=\"football\" data-wpil-keyword-link=\"linked\">football<\/a> is experiencing.<\/p>\n<p>Vin\u00edcius, who last year accused La Liga of not doing enough to end racism, praised Sevilla for acting quickly following the latest incident.  After the match, Sevilla announced that it had identified and handed over to the authorities a supporter for practicing racism and xenophobia during the match, a decision which was also welcomed by the CBF.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAt least this time the attacker did not leave the stadium unpunished,\u201d Rodrigues said.  &#8220;Seville has done the least that a racist attitude deserves. The CBF will continue to put pressure on all football authorities and those outside of sport so that this heinous crime is rigorously punished. The CBF continues to work with FIFA, CONMEBOL and UEFA so that all sporting entities around the world act vehemently against racism.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are taking effective action and we will not stop until we expel the racists from the stadiums.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The state of Rio de Janeiro approved a new law in June aimed at combating racist behavior at sporting events, following the abuse suffered by Vinicius in Spain.  Commonly known as \u201cVini Law.\u201d  Jr.\u201d, this measure, the first of its kind in this South American country, requires the interruption, or even the stopping, of a sporting event during which a racist act takes place.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CBF president supports Vin\u00edcius Jr. after latest racial abuse\u060c Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) President Ednaldo Rodrigues has expressed his support for Vin\u00edcius J\u00fanior after the Real Madrid striker was once again the victim of racist insults in La Liga.
