Sporting Gijon B player Christian Joel has reported an act of racism from ballboys after a game away at UD Ibiza.
This browser does not support the video element.
The goalkeeper had given his shirt to the boys after a match in Ibiza before they insulted him in a video.
"After the match at Ibiza, the ball boys sent me a video calling me an 'immigrant' with the shirt that they'd got from me," he wrote on social media.
"These situations can't be condoned in any way. We live in a society in which racism has no place in any aspect of life."
Ibiza later released a statement saying that they've expelled the ballboys from the club's academy and apologised to Joel and Sporting for such abhorrent behaviour.
"Ibiza is a sporting entity formed by people from very different backgrounds, languages and beliefs," they said.
"In this place, we work so that football is a point of meeting and a place of coexistence in which, evidently, this type of behaviour has to be persecuted, reported and eliminated from its roots."

Its always worse when it kids imo, it just shows that racism will still be around for the next generation. Need more education on the subject.

You scum bag racism
You said I don’t condemn this behaviour. That makes you the racist. He was saying that racism should no longer exist. Maybe you meant you don’t condone this behaviour?

Nah bro you are illiterate, it doesn’t matter if he is immigrant in football world. But you can’t disrespect the goalkeeper like that.

You poor thing, No offence but that just goes to show you how minute and insignificant we think of people like you... If people like you can't understand that the world has moved past racism then you all are just a bunch of worthless illiterates whose mind is forever backdated. I however, pray for your mind to be updated.

I don't know what the parents are doing. it's their responsibility to teach them to be a good citizen.

How could you say that you’re just as bad those kids
No he's not, he just said the truth. The mind of those kids are forever stagnated with the mentality of their history emphasised by their environment. So yes, they are illiterates.
