The player said many of the racist messages included photos and emoticons of monkeys or bananas.<\/p>\n

“If we don\u2019t do what they want, if we don\u2019t behave like they think we should, if we wear something that bothers them, if we don\u2019t lower our heads when we are attacked, if we occupy spaces that they think belong to them, the racists will come into action with their criminal behavior. Too bad for them. We will not stop,” Rodrygo said.<\/p>\n
