Juventus fans protest racist Napoli chants against Kean

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.”
