Copa Libertadores racism
Don't be fooled in thinking racism is isolated to Europe.
A recent story takes us to South America, where an Argentine (Maxi Lopez of Gremio) allegedly had
some names for a black Brazilian opponent (Elicarlos of Cruzeiro).
"The striker Maxi Lopez called me a macaco (monkey), he said that to me," Elicarlos told reporters after Cruzeiro's 3-1 victory in Belo Horizonte, adding that he would report the incident to the police.
