Jay- Z’s Roc Nation Pulls An Ad And Asks Athletes And Fans To Denounce Racism In Soccer
“Enough is enough,” Roc Nation posted a tweet on its official twitter handle.

Several kilometres from the scene of the racist incident at Allianz Stadium in Turin, the agency that represents Lukaku, Jay-Z, bought a full-page ad in Italy’s daily sports newspaper, La Gazzetta dello Sport. “Dear Italy, Do better. Want better. Be better,” the English version of the letter starts off with.

“In professional soccer, Black players have been subjected to hatred during professional [soccer] games. The hatred has displayed itself in the form of monkey chants, racial slurs and banana peels tossed at the best players in the world, as the world watches, as the children watch, as the players’ families watch.”
“No one has faced any consequences for this heinous behavior. Nothing has changed. No action has been taken.” You may check the official tweet by Get Italian Football News below.

The advertisement implies that this is not the first time a Black player, and Romelu in particular, has experienced racism at the hands of fans. Lukaku, who is now 29 years old, was the focus of racist fans in Tuesday’s Coppa Italia semifinal match after scoring a penalty kick against Juventus.
During his team’s victory over Cagliari, Lukaku, who again scored on a penalty kick, was treated to similar disgusting treatment. Roc Nation begins by praising the unifying potential of soccer before calling on people everywhere to intervene to put an end to such heinous behavior.
“We call on the worldwide community of sports – players, team owners, artists, brands and all fans – to denounce this racist behavior and hold bigots accountable to a human standard. One which upholds decency, respect and compassion for others. The first team is the human team. Let’s work together to cut racism out of the game, for good.”
