After taking criticism for saying that a black teammate shared the blame for being subjected to racist taunts by opposing fans, Juventus’s Leonardo Bonucci issued a clarification Wednesday, claiming that the “abuses are not acceptable at all.” His teammate on the Italian soccer giant, Moise Kean, had made a point of standing in front of some of those fans after scoring a goal in a road game at Cagliari.
Kean, a 19-year-old considered by many to be a star on the rise, had increased Juventus’s lead to 2-0 in the 85th minute on Tuesday when he made it clear that he would not be intimidated by what he was hearing from the stands.
