I'm not really sure how this is racist though. Does someone care to explain?
In what context did the fans/supporters meant it when they release this Tiktok?
It’s Napoli’s own fault if they lose a world class player over this
I used to use TikTok and Napoli’s page sometimes seemed like a meme account. They just kept on doing it thinking there wouldn’t be any repercussions. Napoli’s a joke. They should’ve apologised and fired whoever runs their page
In England Calling someone a coconut means there black on the outside but white on the inside.
What if they did an italian player with a pizza everyone would be laughing
Osimhen needs to run his contract down, and leave without a dime going to Napoli. Besides, has Napoli sacked someone yet?
Italy would never change it’s an extremely racist country whether they try to hide it or not.
They’re Italians, they don’t care that they’re racist
Education doesn’t change what is an ingrained, entrenched and generational hatred and prejudice. They can’t help themselves.
I don't believe it's racist. I believe it's completely disrespectful. And it's your biggest star. He should leave them
It's so awful… that why Napoli Is good only during holiday, but living there, is so complicated because a lot of people are living without brain there…
i hate tiktik but tiktok is used for this. creating idiotic videos for kids. The coconut was not created by napaoli. Was created by famous tiktoker on tons of players great players incl. liverpool's nunez and many others (mainly white). Unfortunately italy is not a country with historical racism or slavery so for them it is just a video on a person and has nothing to do with his race. napoli should know better for sure but they are just an italian team without understanding the whole PC world out there. For them it is just funny and they made vidoes like this on their other (white) players as well. Some of them getting even killed or pooped on for "fun". yes this is tiktok, so henry and the others are a different generation who should get to know current trends before they talk. Yet the video is wrong of course, but you need to understand the background and not only your side of the story.
Black player's must go on strike!!
There are so many great clubs in Italy, but the racism is just outrageous. The worst thing for a player there is that if and when they're subjected to racial abuse, they won't be able count on the support of all their own teammates or their own club – the actual Italian football authorities simply do not care … because they're also racists.
Not being racist doesn't cross your mind. I mean racism is a big thing in england and usa but in swiss we don't really care how you look
Italy's casual racism is so engrained in society that people don't even notice when they are doing it.
Its because of his hair gee not rocket science bro….lets turn it to racism as it will bring more interactions
Ohh here we go black people thinking coconuts are racist to black man of ylthey in same picture 🤦🏼♂️ it was clearly because of his hair not his skin colour!!
It’s called having a laugh. It’s this show that’s making a big deal out of it. Lighten up guys
As a lombard i ask Italians stop the racism u got it all wrong
Not to be ignorant but what about the coconut is racist? Genuinely asking
As far as fruit/nut based disrespecting Osimhen should post a video of the club badge sliding on a banana skid next time Napoli loses.
As a Napoli Fan (without Tiktok) I heard from that through the media. I don't want to debate if the videos where racist or not. The whole Tiktok account is full of videos where they "make fun" of their own players. In my point of view – super stupid.
BUT saying that Osimhen was or is not praised or idolized in Napoli doesn't make sense at all! Of course he can not reach the same as Maradona (cause he won more) but if you walk in the streets now seeing kids with blond hair, every restaurant got a Osimhen dish, murales everywhere and more… you should notice that the people love him, that the fans love him.
And also Instagram does. Last season he was the most published player in photos on IG.
Don't let media fool you it's all good between Napoli and Oshimen, Oshimen loves Napoli and Napoli loves Oshimen 💙
Napoli betray Oshimen trust, he help Napoli win the league when alot of big name clubs came with lot of offer to bring Oshimen to their club, Oshimen refuse and sign new contract to Napoli, talk about loyalty but these video changes it.
This is why Napoli would have to wait for another 100 years before getting a scudeto
toktok tiktik
-henry
Tick Toxic is the real name for it.
What shocks me is that the club hasnt apologized and the coach brushed it off, he should plan an exit in january as soon as possible
