Gonzalo Miró's controversial opinion on the Vinicius case sets Twitter on fire: "Calling him a monkey is not racism"

The racist chants last Sunday at the Mestalla stadium towards the Real Madrid player Vinicius continue to give people talk. A situation that has not gone unnoticed on social networks or on television programs, which have not missed the opportunity to talk about it.

A situation that was denounced by the merengue team and that is already in the hands of the Prosecutor's Office. In addition, the authorities have arrested four suspects in Madrid, for another racist incident, in which a doll with the player's shirt was hung from a bridge in Madrid. Many have been famous faces who have also wanted to give their opinion publicly.

One of the faces of today who spoke about the case was the actor Martiño Rivas, who questioned the lack of interest that the president of La Liga and the president of the Spanish Football Federation had shown in the subject. But now past opinions have also come to the fore. That has been the case of Gonzalo Miró.

The networks brought back a controversial video of the presenter on the Punto Pelota program on Intereconomía TV. The old space presented by Josep Pedrerol, who now runs a similar program on Mega, called El Chiringuito de Jugones.

A few years ago in the Vicente Calderón stadium, a few fans shouted racist chants against the Real Madrid player Marcelo. In the sports program they commented on this situation and it was there that Gonzalo Miró gave his controversial opinion. "I didn't sing it but I understand that they are things that are done to confront the enemy, I don't think it's racism," said Miró. ''Marcelo is told that for messing with the team,'' he declared.

Some controversial words that have caused a stir on social networks and there are already many who have positioned themselves against the presenter. ''He was embarrassing then and he is even more so now. We have to evolve'', ''What a shame'', were some of the comments.
