“That the cancer vi devour everyone! May your children and everything you have die!” This is the message spread by Rachel Go back up, wife of Gaetano CastrovilliBari midfielder against Avellino. Messages received in direct by a user and shared by wife of the midfielderwho wrote: “More and more often – writes Risaliti – we read comments and/or messages of this depth, disgusting, a shame. Too many lately. Football should be a moment of play and fun, despite everything. I am truly embittered, sad and disgusted by all this”.
To take a stand a few days later it was Castrovilli himself in his Instagram stories, where he shared a message from the captain Francesco Vicari. “The intent of this post that I felt I wanted to publish is not to ‘make everyone lump it together’, but to remember that in the world of football there are principles, values e people which, at every level, they contribute to making this sport one extraordinary show. Fans, professionals, players, managers, clubs are the soul of this GAME. Let’s unite and say enough to everything that is not in line with the profound meaning of sport”, so Castrovilli in the stories on Instagram.
“Reading these words not only made me deeply disgustedbut he opened a chasm in mine Heart because wishing illness on someone is UNACCEPTABLE. In this delusional world we are normalizing and trivializing very serious behaviors. And I’m not just thinking of the people who received those threats but of all those who are fighting to survive.” The reference is precisely to the insults received from his wife on Instagram, with very heavy words.
“I personally saw it sick children in hospital wards who still wanted to play despite their time being limited. Instead we “ADULTS” we have forgotten that football was born as a game and should remain so. I find INADMISSIBLE undermine the dignity of a footballer who, first of all, is a Person. I SPEAK as a man, as a father, a husband and as a son. In these festive days where the cities are dressed in bright decorations we have forgotten the profound meaning of Christmas: Peace, love, hope and forgiveness”, continued the Bari midfielder, reporting the message of the Bari captain, Francesco Vicari.
“Let’s reflect sui deep values of life, often obscured by the daily frenzy and the sense of anger that dwells within us. I feel deeply close to the people who are currently living in the pain of the disease and to those who come insulted e threatened”, can still be read in the message.
Then he concludes: “I would like us to choose carefully parole which we use because the verbal violence it’s not much different than that physics and can have devastating effects about those who don’t have the strength to go beyond certain words. I love what I do and I can say the same about all my teammates who I admire and thank for not giving up despite the difficulties.”
