‘Florence says no to racism’, the writing on the fields of football matches
Initiative with the teams of all matches (both youth sector and amateur week) in the end
“Florence says no to racism”. After the racist insults after Fiorentina-Napoli, the councilor for sport Cosimo Guccione, in collaboration with the FIGC Florence delegation, launched an initiative against all forms of intolerance together with the teams of all matches (both youth sector and amateur leagues) in the program on the municipal area for this weekend: before the draw in midfield, signs will be displayed to the public with the words “Florence says no to racism” and the hashtag ‘#stopracism’.
“We are still shaken by what happened on Sunday evening at the Franchi – said the commissioner Guccione – we too want to do our part in this battle and for this reason I proposed a simple, but I believe of great significance, an initiative against racism. An initiative immediately shared by the territorial leaders of the Italian Football Federation, thank you “.
“I also asked that in the following days the signs continue to be displayed in the plant, – added Guccione – such as changing rooms, secretariat, ticket office, refreshment point, to continue promoting the episodes. Racism, episodes of intolerance in the stadiums and not only fight each other by promoting acceptance, integration, respect for the other and even small actions like the one we offer are important. “.
“Precisely to reiterate the value of differences, counteract the phenomenon of intolerance and discrimination, and put the very young in comparison with a world in constant evolution – concluded the councilor for sport – last week Florence hosted the Antiracist World Cup, organized by Uisp and Quartiere 4 at the Argingrosso Park “.
