Juventus fans are staging a protest after Napoli ultras avoided punishment for audible racist chants towards Moise Kean.
The Disciplinary Commission ruled after Thursday’s 1-1 draw in Turin that Juve supporters would be penalised with a fine for making ‘territorial discrimination’ chants against Neapolitans.
That is treated the same way as racism in the Italian rules.
However, some clear racist ‘monkey noises’ were made when Kean was introduced as a substitute and those went unpunished or even mentioned in the referee’s report.
Heir to the Agnelli empire Lapo Elkann commented on social media about the incident and called for a fine or potential ban on those ultras too.
“We want there to be action taken and not just the usual mottos.”
The hashtag #SiamoTuttiKean – We are all Kean – went viral, with Juventus fans urging a crackdown on audible racist insults in stadiums.
“It’s treating them differently, you can’t just call it racist every now and then.”
Another suggested “racism in football in Italy depends on what colour shirt the player is wearing.”

Absolutely insane you can hear the monkey sounds in the broadcast as clear as day and they did nothing
The only set of fans worse than Napoli and Roma fans are the English. The absolute bottom of the barrel.
@G.
My first experience of an English stadium was in 1997 at Selhurt park. Sitting in the Homesdale road end, I heard the absolute worst you can hear. Everything from racist abuse towards black players, homophobic abuse towards the referees…you name it. I went there again for a match vs Leicester when Emile Husky was at Leicester. The open racist abuse was just astonishing. The stewards never did a thing. Fast forward to the centenary year for Milan and being drawn in the same group as Chelsea. Living in London, I went to both the home and away games. The game at Stamford bridge happened to be my first visit to that stadium. Again, the home fans especially in the build up to kick off were appalling. anti Italian, homophobic abuse was just rife. 9 times out of the 10, nothing is ever said or done about these incidents.

Thats all nice but Juve was fined for their fans saying “anti southern italian” chants in this very game, while nothing happened to napoli about the racist chants. Thats why people are mad
Rosario with all due respect I think you are wrong in regards to English fans as it is painting with a broad brush. I have been to stadiums in England, US, Italy and Spain but I never saw racist behaviour inside or outside the grounds in UK or US. Do not get me wrong you get idiots in every country but the issue with Italy is down to the fact that they never colonised any countries.That is a good thing but also as to why they are not accustomed to ethnic minorities. In Italy and Spain they have thrown banana skins on the ground. In US and UK that thing does not occur (yes England hooligans in the 70’s/80’s). I would also acknowledge that they have their own issues as despite being a melting pot of different cultures, this can lead to more social problems amongst different groups trying to gel or coexist.
@Uncle Z
Broad brush? May I remind you of their actions during the euro? Every single national team national anthem was booed. They not only were the worst example of hooligans, but they committed umpteenth damage in and around Wembley, racially abused black players and even ridiculed a poor little German girl who was seen crying during the game vs Germany.
I can’t speak of the USA – that is a ‘country’ literally created out of ethnic cleansing, genocide and slavery. I know that so called racism in UK grounds is a lot more underhand.
@Uncle Z, I think a few North African nations may dispute your comment about Italy not colonising any nations!
All countries have racist fans at games and it’s nothing to do with been accustom to ethnic minorities as you put it but the ignorance of people. I’m not sure if you are in England or the US but wasn’t a Leeds fan recently caught making racist comments at a game and Markus Rushford abused on social media last year? It happens everywhere because you have idiots everywhere!
What other voices did you hear in your heads Juve fans? Must have been something like how you are entitled to non existent penalties or winning the scudetto under any circumstances! You obviously hear different to what the rest of the world hears.
The same voices that told Insigne to leave Napoli
chill out Mal!😅
@Al, talk about comparing apples with elephants just to deflect from the facts. Kean did not bring it to the attention of the Ref, nor did his team mates. Kean came on when the game was in the balance and the Ref could have called the game off if there was racism. As I said, these chants were only heard in the heads of juve keyboard warriors.
How typically Italian. Lead the world prohibiting territorial discrimination which is great yet fall painfully short enforcing the anti-racism actions the territorial discrimination is supposed to curb. Welcome to Italy. Any wonder why their covid protocols have been the laughing stock of the world?
To be fair, Napoli fans have never been one to be found racist. If indeed this was a Napoli fan, we don’t claim him. We have been extremely vocal about previous incidents, including one against Koulibaly, and have supported fully a No Racism attitude. We had the #SiamoTuttiKoulibaly hashtag. It was one individual, yet to be identified as either Napoletano or Juventino (he was being marked by Juan Jesus). REGARDLESS of who it was, they need to be dealt with immediately. If it indeed was a napoletano, I will stand with Juventini on this! #SiamoTuttiKean
