Even these days, some people just don't get the whole racism thing.



Argentine striker Maxi Lopez of Gremio had a confrontation with midfielder Elicarlos of Cruzeiro after the team's Libertadores Cup semi-final first leg on Wednesday.

"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.
