Hellas Verona supporters aimed offensive chants at Kessie during the first half of a 1-0 loss to Milan on Sunday night, the Gazzetta dello Sport reported.Verona tweeted Monday that the chants may have been misunderstood amid the loud cheers of its supporters, adding that there were "inevitable whistles for refereeing decisions that still today leave us very perplexed."Verona concluded its tweet with the hashtag "respect.
Kessie, an Ivory Coast international who is black, was also subjected to racist chants by Inter Milan and Lazio fans last season. Also Sunday, a commentator on Italian TV, Luciano Passirani, was immediately suspended for a racist comment directed at Lukaku. Speaking on the "Qui Studio a Voi Stadio" show, Passirani started off by saying, "I don’t see any other player in Italy now like Lukaku. … I really like him," before adding, "the only way to stop him is to say, ‘Here are 10 bananas that you can eat."’
Lukaku, who is also black, was targeted with monkey chants by Cagliari fans this month. The league judge has not decided yet whether Cagliari should be punished.
Should be changed to “AC Milan’s Frank Kessie was subjected to Italians while Romelu Lukaku was Italianed by an Italian.” Crazy that a country that barely runs and has an economy based on much smarter earlier versions of themselves, can be so racist.

Blue Jays can't simply rely on young stars to carry them to success - Sportsnet.caAs we look ahead at what we can expect in the coming years, the number of middling teams stocked with all-stars should be instructive on one hand, and concerning on the other. To be a truly competitive sometime soon, the Blue Jays can’t merely rely on their young premium players to carry them to success. BlueJays TaoofStieb This guy’s writing is shit. What a bunch of pablum. BlueJays TaoofStieb They should have never traded Kevin Pillar. That was a dumb ass mistake. And they probably should have kept Sogard too. Blue Jays management isn't too bright sometimes.😝👎 BlueJays TaoofStieb I totally agree but barely one year in of seeing what is what with the first wave of this new era I think this article is a little early, at least the headline is. Nowhere do I see the intention of the BlueJays is to rely on the prospects/future bunch of all-stars.
