THE Achilles Beos but also the Marble received a heavy “bell” for the racist attack of the former against the player of Kifissia, Andrea Tetei.
So the game, which normally ended with 0-0, is awarded 3-0 in her favor Kifissia. At the same time, the strong man of Thessaly was imposed entry ban penalty in the fields for three months and a fine of 50,000 euroswhile PAE Volos was fined 20,000 euros.
As for the reasoning of the decision, it clearly states that although the term “monkey” is not in itself racistits use in this form and in this context by Achillea Bello constitutes racist practiceis unacceptable and expression of racist prejudices.
In detail, the reasoning of the decision states, among other things: “The designation “monkey” is a racist practice and is reprehensible and controlled. the term “monkey” is not in itself racist, however it can be used to insult people of certain ethnic groups and especially people of African descent. Therefore the use of the term monkey addressed to these people is an expression of racist prejudices is unacceptable and constitutes discrimination.
That is, if one calls a monkey penalty, there is certainly no racist connotation to the expression in question, as it refers to the fact of the alleged penalty, but if one calls a dark-skinned monkey-man, as in this case, then one is projecting a racial symbolism with a racist connotation.
Therefore there is no doubt, as confirmed by most decisions of the UEFA disciplinary committees, that the designation “monkey” targets black footballers and insults their dignity because of the color of their skin.
