Victim of racist insults after the meeting against Arsenal, Wesley Fofana saw his Chelsea club go up to the front to defend him publicly: “The Chelsea Football Club is dismayed and disgusted by the recent increase in online racial insults towards our players. The abuses of which Wes Fofana was the victim after yesterday's match are odious and will not be tolerated. Wes and all our players benefit from our total support. We will collaborate with the competent authorities to identify the perpetrators and take the firm measures as possible».
The French defender also reacted in Story this Monday afternoon: “2025, stupidity and wickedness are no longer hidden. It is not just football, it is not just a “game” when some people think that their skin color makes them superior to the others. It is time for things to change, that platforms act and that everyone takes their responsibilities». Definitely the year 2025 is marked by the climax of human stupidity in the world of football.
