'Fight Against Racism Is My Number One Goal': Nicolas Williams
Nicolas Williams: The footballing culture in Spain has always been one of the best in the world. However, in recent years, a dark cloud in the shape of racism has set over La Liga fans, with the number of incidents increasing in numbers. Spanish winger Nicolas Williams had made fighting racism his 'number one goal'.
"My brother (Athletic's Inaki Williams) and I, as black people, have an important task in this life, which is the fight against racism. It's my number one goal. As a public figure, in order to contribute to that fight, I cannot be sidetracked or become a freak and not have my feet on the ground," said Williams to Spanish outlet El Mundo.
One of the biggest targets for the fans has been Vinicius Jr., who has been harassed and targeted on multiple occasions, with the number of incidents increasing, with the most recent incident coming by Atletico Madrid fans during the Madrid Derby on September 30, when Los Blanocs walked off the pitch after abuse followed after Eder Militao’s opening goal at the Wanda Metropolitano.
