imagine having to go to training and play alongside bonucci after this. poor kean

"First thing I thought was who actually wrote that. Because it wasn't Bonucci" I love how these guys keep it real

I see he’s going for that gold medal at the backtracking Olympics

Never rated bonnuci as a player, so his opinions are worthless to me. I’d be more shocked if someone like chiellini said this.

Racism is not acceptable anywhere ....it is not even 1% fault of the player who is suffering from it

bonucci said 50/50, i think the guy is racist him self.most of the italyan people has not controll on their wards

Italians and racism is love story that will never end

Bonnuci was very out of order

Italian league is disgraceful. No wonder koulibaly wants out

Stevie’s right, Bonucci definitely didn’t write that!

Italy and racism in football Name a more iconic duo...

Hulk Hogan: “I didn’t see nothing wrong with Bonucci’s statement about that n-... I mean brother...”

"who actually wrote that, because it wasn't Bonucci" DAMN! That was savage :D

If nothing else, Bonucci can be a politician, Changing statements when there's a backlash!!!🤦🤷😁

It's hard to play in Italy for black players. I am from Ethiopia, we kicked them out the fascist Italy from our nation 💯 year's ago. braves!!!.

I thought who wrote that? Weren't Bonucci lol 😂 he's a legend.

If I am Kean, I would probably fight Bonucci over that. I once heard a girl on my volleyball team making racist remarks at a black girl on the opposing team and my teammate caught my right hand to the side of her head right there on the court. We need to govern each other sometimes. As a player, we have to protect each other. This needs to be corrected immediately.

Italians and their love for Fascism.

Who's takes Bonucci serious? The dude who went to Milan and then came back to Juve.

I’m an Italian guy and I’m reading your comments, I don’t like that people call Italians racist, I know that a lot of Italians are racists but a lot of us are not like them.

Bonucci just show his real colour that is Italy 🇮🇹 for u guys..

I know it may be difficult to do because once this rule is implemented many people will take advantage of it but any team guilty of racism should be either banned from european competition for 5 years, deducted 30 points or automatically relegated to serie B with 15 points deducted from the start.

"I'm not sorry, I'm just misunderstood." - Bonucci

Same thing I was saying is that how can he even say that smh, poor from bonucci very poor.

Racisme & Fascisme has always been a part of Italian Football. Bycot Italian Football 🤮🤮🤮

Allegri didnt do Kean any favors either with his comments after the match...

After 100's of thousands of years and all this technological advancements, the homo sapiens still can seem to see past the color of each others skin and realise they are the same

U guys are mad, Italy is not a racist country and all the people in that country can't be, the UK media are hypocrites, when sterling was racially abused in Stamford bridge no one said the whole UK is racist so let's not get on the bandwagon

That boy moonwalking lmao

Bonucci is an overrated snake. He should be banned from playing any more games for Italy and Juventus for the rest of the season. Absolutely disgusting comments

im sure its not the first time Kean needs to move forward he makes more than those nobodies in the stadium imagine being racist in 2019 its crazy

where can i find the actual interview?

Oh I absolutely hope the world doesn't let this shit go in Italian football as a whole. And hold their legs to the fire. And I don't think I've ever been more disappointed in a human being as I am as I am in Bonucci, and as far as I'm concerned without a personal apology from him I don't think moise should lace up with him again. Fuck professionalism

For me there is no doubt bonucci was wrong but I still think that the real problem is the racism that occurred during the match and the fact that serie does nothing to fix that.

How you drag your own teammate like that ? If I were mean , I wouldn’t be friends ever

I love bonucci but what he said is joke he’s suppose to have his teammates back🤦‍♂️

Welcome to Italy. I live there

Bonucci fought with Alves on this same problem ... Y'all keep forgetting easily

Racism has no place in football tbh, a very poor statement from bonucci if he indeed wrote it, very poor indeed and about his own team mate too

What a shame for the Serie A! The incident itself and the way Bonucci talked about it to the media. Juve's manager, Allegri, said Moise Kean shouldn't have done his celebration, but he also talked about how the fans who did those racist chants should be banned from the stadium and that racism in never ok. Bonucci, on the other hand, could've talked to Kean privately after the game about his concerns, but instead he said this to the media. What a moron! He caused an incident with Dybala at halftime of 2017 Champions League final. Bonucci is bad in the locker room and and is mediocre without Chiellini beside him.

I want this same energy from the British contingent when it's their press being racist to a Raheem Sterling or any other black player.

UEFA needs to step up and throw some bans out regarding Serie A in continental competition in the UEFA/Europa League's since Italy clearly does not care nor see an issue with Racismo

24 hours later? too late for damage control. He is too experienced to say that.

Why are they calling it an apology? He didn’t apologize in any way.

Shame!

I’m Italian, and I feel very attacked by the comment feed... but I’m gonna say it anyway What Bonucci meant was that in his opinion Kean should not have given in to the controversy as well as condemn the racist chants. You really think Bonucci suddenly has become a racist after years of playing with Pogba, Matuidi, etc.?

If they were teaching the truth in schools about almost eveything Racism would never have been so prevalent!!

Paolo looks a lot like Jacob Stockdale, who plays rugby for Ireland.

Why are y'all shocked by this, it's Italy ffs.

The ideas and standards about race shared by Britain, Canada, and the urban coastal parts of the US aren't universal. Crying "racism" doesn't get you anywhere in many parts of the world.

With all the major leagues in the world, no need to go to Italy if they do the same thing over and over again

Look some other british press extend bonucci's words to define Italy and italians and brand everyone in Italy as racists Then who is the racist?

Shame on italy

He should be banned for the rest of the season

People are people. Same happens in England and Spain where ive lived for over 15 years. They should keep their comments to them selves but you cant force people to think differently.

Can someone tell me what was wrong with his celebration?

Seems like Mussolini's beliefs are not come from Italy

*SHITALY*

What a disgrace Bonucci is. Bad comments, then he released a statement that didn't include "I apologize or I'm sorry" isn't an apology.

This panel 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙏🏾

"It was more muted in Italy than it was internationally"

I think moises Kean should hand in his transfer request to leave

How can you attracted your teammate. Am not surprised he's from Italy

Yeah nah thats not Bonucci, that his manager/publicist posting from his phone.

Italy lol what else do you expect?

Love the comments condemning some Italians for being racist while being racist towards Italians 😐😐😐

Its really horrible. the boy is only a teenager and he represents italy and could even go on to be their main striker in the bext few years and he gets treated like that

Where’s Zidane when you need him?

This is not a big deal in Italy which is the reality of it

People need to hop off the Bonucci hate train here and realize that no action has been taken against Cagliari. The real offenders aren't caught and Bonucci is becoming the villain. He has publicly released a statement that he didn't articulate what he meant properly. He had played a whole match and was probably tired and his brain wasn't working properly. Take away all the racist implications off his statement, we do realize that what he meant is true. Racism is big in Italy and if Kean celebrates in front of the home fans in an away match, I am 100% sure that this type of incident will happen again. The FIGC needs to bash heads and find the culprits. What Allegri said is right, in this age of technology, cameras need to be used to identify the racists and they shouldn't be seen near a stadium again. Banned for life. People are quick to ride the hate train without providing solutions for this, which is happening again and again, not only in Italy, even in England as well.

He did said 50/50 that dropped his points drastifically

What Bonucci said was complete out of order. Gaining racist abuse you cannot be blamed for 1%, let along 50% but I think what he actually meant and should have phrased it as, “The racist abuse shouldn’t be torelated. Those which did should be punished, but Keane shouldn’t taunt the fans either, as that only worsens the situation”. Hence why he expressed it as 50% of the blame, but again that’s totally wrong to say as it makes it seem that just because he’s black he should receive racist abuse smh Bonucci.

i blame the english media

Just like NFL players took a knee and did something about racism it’s about time football does something instead of just talking about it.

All media channels needs to call it out, if not then we know what side ur on, not only condemn it but to call out all this guilty of sympathisers wth the Italian hooligans

i can literally watch these guys talk all day long

Shitaly

I feel sorry for that young player. Those italians fans are gonna make him a flop like they did to balotelli

Ban, fine (with the money going to a charity that deals with racism), a much, much better apology would the bare minimum that Juve and Italian football need to do

I'm really hoping that Bonucci was confused and simply referring to the negative reaction from the crowd to the celebration, not any of the racist elements. Either way, you CANNOT not stand up for your teammate like that.

Everyone saying stuff about Italy in the comments has no clue. Go ahead and feel morally superior. Who the hell cares.

I found Italian outside Italy very friendly from my experience but the ones in Italy are racist and I think it more of a societal problem.The society there accept and encourages it.What a shame.I was disquited and shocked about bonnuci comment being that he is Mario very good friend

I thought football is a platform to unite everybody regardless of race, skin or whatever. We are all human beings!! We all have emotions!! ITALIANS WTF MAN

What chielinni said was perfect

lmao who cares

Bonnucci has apologized and yet you’re here saying he’s lying. He has clearly made an utter and stupid mistake but he’s apologized ; so he should be forgiven 👊🏿🤚🏿#notoracism

Didn't balotelli and etoo experienced racism there too? I know there are more incidents but those were the ones that came to my head right when I hear racism...italy, I don't wanna go watch football there or visit certain places there if these racism keeps on coming into the news

A lot of Italians don’t get it!! Goodness..

If bonucci was this quick for Italy 🇮🇹 the same way he was quick to blame kean,Italy would have qualified to the World Cup 🏟.

While Bonucci is a knucklehead, its weird how he is getting all the shit while Cagliari arent been focussed on at all. This is not their fans' first time getting after players of colour. Minimal focus on that from the media outlets.

Things need to be done in Italy. However not all Italians are racist. Probably Bonucci is one the racist Italian.

I don’t think bonucci is racist. I think he doesn’t understand as a white man what it is like to receive racial abuse in such a way. He was reacting from a close minded perspective, that somehow the abuse kean received did not justify his celebration.

If its true that the racist chants only started after his provocative celebration then Bonucci is completely right.

Glad Italy didnt make the world cup. France, a team who made a team without prejudice but from talents won it. Adapt or be left out

Hey, Jewish CEO of Disney, tell your people at ESPN to stop condemning Italy, or at least condemn Israel's Jewish only immigration policy. We, the people, are sick-and-tired of you Jews calling it anti-Semitic when someone criticizes you!

As an Italian, I want ESPN to know that they have NO RIGHT to tell us Italians what we CAN or CAN NOT SAY in our own country!

There should be condemnation from the top players in the sport - Ronaldo, Messi, Neymar etc.

When Higuain was at Juventus the napolitan supporters started very offensive chantes against him and his family... why noone said anything about that? Why is just racism the only offense to condemn? Who decide what is offensive the most?

He should ignore those crazy people!

" I don't want to dwell on the apologie to much" because that would mean this story stops here and we have lazy divisive content to push.
