Ribas thinks “very unfair” sanction. “It makes me very angry when these statements are said. without malice and intent to offend.”
“I was the first to be surprised,” the young fan told this newspaper. “I wasn’t expecting anything, I thought I did not do anything wrong”. Ribas, who had the support of his parents “from the very beginning”, explains how the idea to use this kind of expression was born. “Telling us nonsense among my friends started out as a joke. For example, whose feet are like a stove. It sounds insulting, but it’s not. how silly we had fun. And one day, in Last Moix, last season Spanish, we proposed to say nonsense phrases. We did it, we liked it. I said I will try to upload it to TikTok now. It was successful, a week later 350,000 visits”.
“First I did it indifferent”He continues, “I was going to save the video to show my friends and we thought maybe more people would find it funny. I even got a lot of comments from people who found it funny.and hair smells like bacon -to the then-Espanyol player Raul de Tomas– it was funny. They tell me on the street and I start laughing,” he adds, still can’t believe the sanction.
He learned of Mallorca’s punishment last March 20 “I received an email informing me about the sanction. was not racist or xenophobicand if I made offensive videos TikTok wouldn’t let me upload them. If they were offensive I wouldn’t do it, I wouldn’t upload it to networks and I wouldn’t upload it under my own name. Many people accused me of being the person who insulted Vinicius in the video. I defended myself for twitter Not me, not my voice, and not in these stands. Also, the sanction three years offered racist insults to Vinicius I think that’s fair,” he emphasizes.
Before the match, the club answered him. Osasuna, had not admitted his allegations on March 31. “I asked if I would have a problem renewing the subscription and they told me no. The punishment is exaggerated,” he said.. The rule of putting the case into the hands of lawyers, because He doesn’t want to go against the club. I would definitely winbut I don’t want to waste time with this because I’m working on two extremely projects”.
The sanction ends on September 20, with the start of the next season, and Ribas is clear that he will renew the card he wants. Lluís Sitjar paid 180 euros out of his pocket in the stands. “I don’t want to be penalized again. In the allegations, I told them I wanted to delete the footage if they lifted the penalty. I will leave them, but I will not make new ones”ends in order to turn the page.
