Juventus issue apology after racist post is shared on Twitter page of women’s team
The Metro says: Juventus have issued an apology after a tweet showing a player making a racist gesture was shared on the official Twitter page of their women’s team this evening.
The post – which has since been deleted – contained a picture of a squad member posing with a training cone on her head while stretching her eyes in an offensive manner.
The photograph was met with an immediate and ferocious backlash before it was swiftly taken down. A brief apology was uploaded in its place which claims the club have ‘always been against racism and discrimination’.
There are calls for the individual responsible for the initial post to be removed from their position.
