Racism victim
When Roberto Carlos went to Russia, one could instantly predict the future: that he would be the victim of racist remarks.
Racism in Russia is as common as auto-tuned singing in today’s pop. And the most shameful part is the fact that the authorities don’t do as much about it as they should be doing.
In a match against FC Krylia Sovetov Samara, Roberto Carlos received a pass from the goalkeeper. As he was about to pass it to his team-mate, a banana was thrown at him—and this was the second time it happened in his short stint in Russia.
Then what Roberto Carlos did became the subject of many praises. He picked up the banana, threw it by the sidelines and walked off the field right then and there—raising two fingers towards the stands, indicating the number of times he received racist remarks in Russia.
