Rome: Italian sports daily Corriere dello Sport has been condemned by anti-racism group Fare for using the headline “Black Friday” along with a picture of players Chris Smalling and Romelu Lukaku to preview Friday’s match between Inter Milan and Roma.
###
The match will see former Manchester United teammates Smalling and Lukaku on opposite sides.
###
The headline, in English, was posted in bold letters on the newspaper’s front page along with a picture of the two black players.
######
It drew criticism from Fare, which retweeted the headline under the comment: “The media fuels racism every day. This is today’s edition of Corriere dello Sport.” The newspaper could not immediately be reached for comment.
###
Italian football has been plagued by racism and Lukaku himself was a victim when the Belgium forward was insulted with monkey chants when he went to take a penalty for Inter Milan during a Serie A match at Cagliari.
