Jennifer Boldini immediately sides with Adhu Malual after racist attacks

Jennifer Boldini immediately sided with Adhu Malual, who complained that she was subjected to racist insults, towards her and her family, during Pinerolo’s home loss to Macerata. “Always be proud of the Woman you are, the player and the person you prove to be every day, because we are infinitely proud. I love you” the message from UYBA’s setter, who is in the pits after suffering a ruptured cruciate ligament and second-degree medial collateral ligament injury.

“Last night I played at home – had told the girl born in Rome to parents originally from South Sudan -. And I did not feel at home. In my 12-year career, I had never witnessed or experienced on my skin such an attitude from the public that should support their team. One can make mistakes. It’s part of the game, it’s part of the job, it’s part of being human. What is not part of the sport are insults, constant booing, personal insults and yes racist comments, directed not only at me but also at my family members in the stands. From the first point to the last. Not to spur. Not to support. Just to hit”.

“I am proud to be Italian. I am proud to play in one of the strongest leagues in the world – she had then added -I am proud to wear the Azzurri jersey, because the love I feel for this country, which is my home, is indescribable. And I will not allow anyone to question it. Bad moments exist for everyone, in any field. There is a fine line between cheering and disrespect. Last night that line was crossed several times. And when it is not only the athlete on the field who pays the price, but also the team and its family in the stands, then the problem is not sporting. It’s human”.

“I will continue to do my job. With dignity. With professionalism. With respect for the sport. But one thing must be said clearly: silence, in the face of certain behavior, is no longer an option. I thank society for the support shown, and the fans who recognize my commitment and understand the delicate moment” Adhu&#8221s conclusion.
