Dani Alves backed by banana-eating stars
Stars from the world of football have backed Barcelona’s Dani Alves after he reacted to having a banana thrown at him by peeling it and taking a bite.
The racist taunt occurred as Alves was about to take a corner during Sunday’s dramatic 3-2 win at Villarreal.
Emmanuel Adebayor said on Twitter: “Massive respect to danid2ois, there is no place for Racism in Football.
What @DaniAlvesD2 tolerated last night is an outrage. We must fight all forms of discrimination united. Will be zero tolerance at #WorldCup. Fifa president Sepp Blatter said on Twitter.
