Tebas' tenure at La Liga definitely hasn't impressed me. On many levels.
Ale is clear, Spanish people are racist.
there's rivalry then theres this
Dr. Shaka for president of la liga
La liga is legacy. Leave spain
Spain is ok with racism. Vinicius should leave the league, there are lots of teams that want him.
Who can support such a racist league?
Niggas keep acting like Niggas
That is the reason why racism still exists
It's Spanish culture they don't respect people of colour it's in their dna. Time to close a stand or stadium ban or donate money from the club guilty to anti racism groups etc education
All of them are the same that's why they do nothing about it. Racist!! That Tebas is racist himself.
Vinni Jr a cool dude irl I really don’t get the hate
only thing can stop racism is changing the mind set of people
A rich black guy complaining about racism? Look at the black commentator LOVES being the victim in the mean time making millions.

Such racist fans should be banned from the stadium or the clubs get fined heavily. Then the clubs will sit up and start fighting racism.
La Liga has been on a decline for the last 4 years now anyway. They only reason why players would want to go to La Liga nowadays is to play for Real Madrid and that's it, Barcelona can't even afford pizza rolls anymore so they're out of the equation now; dead league.
Just Europeans being their usual racists selves. What's new?
Minute 3:53, make sure you correct yourself and say a “person” and not a “guy” when referring to a lawyer before you get canceled 😂
This racism against black players will only end the day when all black black players around the world unite and fight aggressively against these evel racists. I used to be a fan of La Liga but i wont wach their games anymore after this pathetic response from Tebias. His attitude shows that he is a part of those racists. I am considering to organize a petition in my country, South Africa to stop buying La Liga games
Spain is degrading as a nation and as a society. They can’t even get along between themselves.
Eventually big players for Madrid, Barcelona and Atletico migrate will go to the premier due to all these abuses.
All black players should just leave la liga in unison.
Ale is right it’s a society issue and unless the prosecutors do more there’s only so much tebas can do. It’s easy to say ban racists but to find those before the game is played is not that easy.
Europeans way more racist than Brazilians or even Americans who’ve lived in truly mixed societies for centuries now. Vinny is just a boy in a RM celebrity bubble and from a football standpoint has been fouled with intent to harm more than every footballer in the world with most of those fouls not being called by the refs.
Come to arsenal, we'll show you love
The real monkeys are those in those stands throwing things and screaming like they’re in a zoo. Idiotas
Spain has a serious problem if the prosecutor and the league president behaves like this!
How backwards is this country compared to the UK when it comes to racism?
Tebas has destroyed La Liga with racism and poor refereeing
MONEY TALKS…start hitting these clubs in the pocketbook and they’ll get some “act right”. Not small fines, not substantial ones coupled with games with no fans from the club that’s at fault being able to attend. Is it gas to the majority of fans so behave..NO. But if the ‘minority’ (the players) have to suffer than so should the ‘majority’ ( the clubs).
The reality, people are people. And there will be racists. It's not a football issue. It's a societal issue. La Liga is a subset of the Spanish population. How do you combat racism? You don't, not in the short term, at least. People think there is a magical law or performance, such as kneeling, that will make racist people magically see the light. It is a social-cultural problem. Persecuting people isn't going to solve anything.
This is simple. The fans are a microcosm of the greater population. So, It's not a La Liga issue. It's a Spanish issue. It is not Tebas who needs to combat it. It is Spain that needs to address the issue.
These were the people trying to lecture Qatar about human rights.
Tebas is 🗑️
Problem about Tebas and being right thinking is that he might be a little too right thinking if you get my drift
Vini just stays in that euro trailer trash environment he doesn't have basic awareness
So basically the whole country of Spain is the problem😤
The truth we all are trying to ignore is that 90% perhaps maybe 80% of Europeans and non-blacks are still very much racist WHEN CONVENIENT thus racist per choice.
It cannot be changed by merely talking about it but by dissociation and effective consequences.
When the persons of color stop playing in Spain and all countries where this nastiness exists they'll get the message.
Just show the faces of racists on deducting 10 points from Vallaroid.
I’m sorry was there a question that Europe’s has a huge racism issue which hasn’t been addressed for the past 200 years. It’s all over society why do we think football is different ?
They were very quick to fight Super League clubs because their pocket will be affected by that super league move. the fans across Europe fought alongside the UEFA, but when it comes to racism the energy dies a natural death. tell you the hypocrisy in the west. majority of Europeans are freaking racist. If only minorities are racist by now we will not be talking about RACISM. Institutionalized racism has its headquarters in Europe keeping the legacy of their ancestors alive.
Spain has always been a deeply racist nation, not just with football.

Javier Tebas is the worst thing to ever happen in Spanish football.
