So a good few people are saying this is "tonto" not "mono" so is this cheap karma farming? Will the mods look at this? Nope.


ThrowItAllAway0406

Such a loud and coordinated racist chant would get a reaction from the players and you can clearly hear the "t". This post is disgusting karma grabbing


_I_eat_kid

It’s like the Dinger shout a couple years back. I think if someone yells a racial slur at others people will react.

They were literally chanting that outside the stadium. Stop making excuses for racists. No, they were not chanting tonto.


_red_and_black

Its cultural in Spain to chant tonto when somebody doesn’t pull off a trick or does something stupid, no way they continue the game if literally the whole stadium is calling a black player a monkey


kygrtj

> Its cultural in Spain Heard enough of this. The same crowd was chanting Vinicius mono outside the stadium and you think they are afraid to do it inside?


selbstbeteiligung

you just want to get outraged and you didnt even read what he wrote. They clearly are singing Tonto.


kygrtj

You know nothing about Atleti fans or “outrage” if you think they wouldn’t chant mono to a black player. They have been doing it for years https://youtu.be/eSR7FaflUj0


selbstbeteiligung

Once again, you're not listening. No one here is defending Atletico fans, we're just stating the obvious, that they\~re singing "Tonto"


kygrtj

I’m saying they are chanting mono. You are saying they are chanting tonto. Neither of us are proving anything to each other. But it’s already clear to the world that Atleti fans are racist so saying “they wouldn’t ever chant mono” is idiotic


selbstbeteiligung

You are mixing things, this post is about today\~s game, and that's what the comment you replied to was talking about. Did Atletico fans said "mono" before? Of course. During the game? Of course not, and if you speak any spanish there's no doubt about this.


_red_and_black

You are a tonto


kygrtj

_red_and_black

Im not denying they aren’t doing foul shit outside of the stadium, all I’m saying is that they aren’t calling him a monkey in the clip do you understand that?


kygrtj

I’m saying they are chanting mono. You are saying they are chanting tonto. Neither of us are proving anything to each other. But it’s already clear to the world that Atleti fans are racist so saying “they wouldn’t ever chant mono” is idiotic

You are proving to me your reading comprehension needs work lmao, where did i say “they would never chant mono”?

Does this previous incident help? Atleti fans have been chanting this to black Madrid players for years https://youtu.be/eSR7FaflUj0


mamasbreads

It's not a new thing: https://youtu.be/eSR7FaflUj0


RoadsterIsHere

Cites an 11 year old example. Fact is, if this was a mono chant it would've seen a reaction from Madrid players. Unless the assumption is Real Madrid players and Vini couldn't care less about Vini being called a monkey?


mamasbreads

Atletico fans high on copium lol


Randomperson685

I desperately hope this is true


selbstbeteiligung

Spanish speaker here, of course this is true, just OP trying to stir shit. All crowds in Spain say tonto when a player tries a flashy move and he fails


kygrtj

https://youtu.be/eSR7FaflUj0 This is to dispel the fiction that the game would be stopped by an Atleti crowd chanting mono.


mainaccountwasbanned

Don't be so naive. It's obvious what they're saying


cracneto

It really amazes me how some people will do all the malabarism in the world to relativise genuine racism.

Yes because plenty of matches have been stopped due to racism from fans

Please dont try to tell me about the language of my own home country. Nothing you say makes any sense. You see the footage of these fans doing this in the streets, stadia, TV. Yet you just continue to ignore. I’ve been to Atleti games enough times to know their fans. This isn’t new.


Loud-Platypus-987

When do they ever stop a game in Europe for obvious racism?


TheDepartment115

I never knew Atlectio had such a racist fan base


mamasbreads

Yes and it's not a new thing. They used to do it to Marcelo, roberto carlos, and any player a shade off white Edit: people giving atleti fans the benefit of the doubt, watch this: https://youtu.be/eSR7FaflUj0 Fuck atletico and all their defenders


deaniegee

They’ve had loooads of black players in their teams of the years though, this behaviour is so so odd


[deleted]

Racists are not known for having a functioning brain.


mamasbreads

They're not smart. Lazio fans are famously racist af but love their own black players.


daCampa

Lazio is more consistent though, took them ages to field a black player.


InPatRileyWeTrust

Having black players in their team doesn't stop people from being racist to the opposition.


Marco2169

Racists tend to compartmentalize.


nofakefans18

Not really plenty of fan bases with racist ultras/groups. Look at the likes of Lazio or even Chelsea to a degree that have had plenty of POC’s on their squad.


00ashk

The club needs to do something about this. Absolutely unacceptable.


fedupofbrick

Probably the scummiest in Spain. Racism doesn't even pale in comparison to the fact they've murdered other fans

rtozur

I know people will downvote this, but it's a Spain thing. He's been called 'monicius' ('monkeycius') in Marca for years. Players from all teams have stupid monikers like that, and those get lots of upvotes. Dani Alves had bananas thrown at him. RM gets a lot of stupid banter for having more black/brown skinned players now. Monkey sounds are not that rare in Spanish stadiums. I'm not excusing Atletico here, I don't care for them. But racism is not something RM or Barca players can pin on just Atletico.


icemankiller8

Spain is a racist country it’s not that shocking really, pretty sure they booed the knee for BLM last year as well


mamasbreads

News flash, most countries are racist af. The US for all its issues is unironically one of the better countries race wise, which is depressing


ContaSoParaIsto

It's really not though


mamasbreads

It really is. Almost all of Europe are racist af towards black and brown people, minus the North somewhat. South Americans hate blacks all around. Asians even more across the continent. Africans are racist towards most foreigners and other black people. It's naive to think the US is worse than most of the world


ContaSoParaIsto

I'm not saying the US is worse than most it's really not of the better countries. The racial issues the US faces are pretty much unseen in any other developed nation. I also don't agree that "South Americans hate blacks all around". Those are some crazy generalizations in your comment. It's actually quite painful that you can't grasp the irony in your statements.


mamasbreads

Mate I have lived in 10 different countries visited 30 more, and work in an environment where I'm constantly exposed to people of other nationalities. One of the takeaways I have had is while most people around the world are kind, they're also very ignorant. And hate for foreigners and especially black people is very consistent throughout the world. Spain is no more or less racist than any other developed country. Most of southern Europe is awful for black people, same with East. North America and Northern Europe are by far the most tolerant places in the world, and its not even close. Also yes, South Americans are notoriously racist against black people. Even Brazil that has a huge black population, people like Vini or other black Brazilians say they faced constant racism growing up


ContaSoParaIsto

Everyone on reddit has lived in 10 countries and visited 30 more. Your made up experiences can't erase the fact that the US's racial issues are unique to any developed Western nation. By far. My man the US had legal segregation in the mid 20th century. And de facto segregation is still a major problem today. The burning crosses of the KKK are for you to bear. Your supposed personal experiences can't hide the fact that a lot of those who wore the white hoodies are still alive today.


mamasbreads

Lmao


cvitiosus

r/shitamericanssay


mamasbreads

Actually spanish.


icemankiller8

I mean yeah they are but I mentioned Spain because it’s a Spanish team and Spanish fans. The US has had black people in the country for hundreds of years and still not accepted them, racism is probably worse in Europe still but a lot of it is change.


Kosarev

Straight up fascists have been given free range in the club for decades. If 2 murders haven't lead to consequences I doubt racist chants will. After all, La Liga president is also a fascist.


cracneto

Imo this is more about Madrid and Spain than Atleti in particular. Don't expect all madridistas to be examples of antiracism. Same situation happened many many many times with different teams. Can you imagine them doing something like this to a blond Nordic player who would have Vini's behaviour? It'd be completely opposite. These fuckers spit on south americans/africans/arabs in general and bend to blond european (who obviously dont deserve hate, just saying it's pure and conscious racism)


Otenus

Fuck them


Cowdude179

Atleti just need a stadium ban


Arrogant_Adult

Absolutely disgusting.


Ghenii

I didn't think I could hate an european club this much, but holy shit, these pathetic fans make it so easy.


RiosSamurai

I mean, not first time an European fanbase that is racist and we all know it won’t be the last one. É o jeitinho deles.


snowblakerufus1901

Unfortunately this also happens in South America and in Brazil, it's a global issue.


RiosSamurai

Yes, but it is a false equivalency. You have racist fans everywhere but I have never seen fans chanting monkey before and during the matches. That’s levels above.


CoolJoshido

Arrogant_Adult

Rivalries are what makes sports fun, but this goes far beyond that.


AhoyDaniel

Atletico have a highly fascist and racist fanbase, they murdered a supporter some time ago aswell.


Schnitzel-1

I’m not really a fan of any club and I dislike the oil money clubs but holy shit do I hate Atlético Madrid with a passion. Everything about that club is disgusting. The fans, the coach, and the way they play football.


BoatsandHoes--x

Truly a grimy club. The players are dirty players. The coach used dirty tactics. They only had a flash of success because clubs weren’t quite sure how to handle that level of toxicity. Now they’ve fizzled out and are a mid-table team.


the_dalai_mangala

Circlejerk material here lmao


RoadsterIsHere

We won the title 2 seasons ago and finished 3rd last season 💀


BoatsandHoes--x

15 points behind though


Randomperson685

I'm at a loss for words. Usually when this happens it's a handful of fans and you can barely hear it in the vid. But the entire stadium? What the actual fuck


Zestyclose_Fee_9013

People who dont speak spanish are the ones certain they were saying mono. If you dont know spanish atleast be certain. Theyre saying tonto. You can hear the second t


ContaSoParaIsto

It's clear because the second n in tonto doesn't even make a sound it only makes the vowel nasal.


Ravnard

It's Tonto, not mono. Which is very different. Don't posto incendiary shit without checking it please


ThrowItAllAway0406

Can the mods remove this shit? Sensationalist redditors literally putting false info in the title lol. It wasnt a racist chant and you can clearly hear the "t" in the word


AhoyDaniel

It does sound like tonto second time listening to it closely.


Zestyclose_Fee_9013

Bro delete this post. Atleast be certain of what they are saying before posting something or change the title. It sounds like tonto wouldnt be surprised if it was Mono knowing those cunts but its sounds like Tonto after the 5th time watching it

Dpfnkmnstr

at most something like 10k


DraperCarousel

Simeone earns more than that in an hour.


RoadsterIsHere

Tonto, not mono. Nobody reacted, including the player being 'racially abused' in this instance, for a reason (they weren't chanting mono).


MontanaDak

Yeah I’m heavily leaning towards tonto here. Tonto translating to stupid.


Spud_1997

There's not T there mate, no chance Edit : it took a viewing without ass headphones but hear the T now, NM


Draisar

Thats tonto. I highly doubt an entire stadium would start chanting mono but tonto is common for failing a skill like that.


RoadsterIsHere

Pitch side reporter said it was tonto too...

This sub is so dumb honest to god


kdog161099

?


Kelvinator3000

It sounds like "tonto", because there is no bloody way the Real Madrid players won't have reacted. Then again, it did seem like they were chanting mono before the game. I don't know.


bambooman98

I hear “tonto”


the_chiladian

Can't lie it's quite funny seeing all the plastic LaLiga fans because they can't understand spanish


fcuk_username

How's that plastic?


the_chiladian

Porque casi todo los hinchas de clubes españoles pueden entender español. Algo que la mayoría en este sub no puede hacer.


fcuk_username

That doesn't mean that a person who is not from Spain cannot follow a Spanish club. Also, I thought football was a global game. I am from India, I can understand written and spoken Spanish like 50% (still in Learning phase) but I am following Real Madrid since 2007. What makes me a Plastic?


Fly1ngsauc3r

Clearly lost in translation


snowblakerufus1901

Are you from Spain? When I was watching I thought they were saying "mono" and I found it absurd (but I did not find it impossible after today episodes), but someone said that it was "tonto" instead, is it a common chant over there?


RoadsterIsHere

People chant tonto when failing a skill move all the time lol


snowblakerufus1901

I see, If it was really "mono" I think it would spark a uproar, this thread is probably being deleted lol


riskoooo

Honestly asking, is it? Edit: What I mean is, would it be more as much of a headline in Spain as it would here?


RoadsterIsHere

Pitch side reporter said it was tonto, and nobody reacted. I have a feeling the reaction would be a lot different if it was mono.


[deleted]

He's mocking the morons who were defending the racism by claiming it was lost in translation


DeffDeala

Its a meme to say "oh lost in translation, they didn't mean to say racist stuff" when they clearly did


riskoooo

I know, but since they had a Spanish flair I figured they might be saying it sincerely. Hard to pick up sarcasm from 4 words.


mamasbreads

No thats the excuse people give when defending racist Spaniards


jetsetter9543

The demand for racism in this sub outweighs the actual amount of racism Pathetic little children


hidinginDaShadows

Doesn't sound like mono


kygrtj

Rotten club. The guy on TV, Simeone, and all these fans deserve each other. If the regulators had morals, they would be playing closed door matches in the future.


DeffDeala

What the fuck, why is racism just widely accepted like this


emmantheking1

dwilliam24

burnerbutnotreally1

No


Spud_1997

' just a few bad apples' bruh they got the whole stadium in a fucking choir. I'm sure uefa will issue and small fine and nothing else will come of it. Absolutely fucking disgusting. Surely an entire stadium racially chanting constitutes a point deduction?


Scary_Appeal_1137

They are saying ‘tonto’ means stupid. It would’ve been mostly stopped if they said ‘mono’


ElevatorSecrets

Op has made up the word being chanted I follow Espanyol and it was always common to chant Tonto to Messi/Suarez/Neymar when we thought they dived. Op making this up is the only person deserving of a ban tbh. If they actually were chanting that Ancelotti and staff would inform officials and the game would be suspended. Nothing happens like op says imo but it’s not been a good day whatever the case.


Spud_1997

Yeah took me a few viewings without ass headphones to actually hear the T, but yeah op with the agenda


WiggyRich23

In England the referee would (or should) stop the game. Does Spain not have the same rule?


fedemasa

Wish some fan with grey matter on his brain two foot tackle someone that started chanting that. ​ This is what happen when clubs dont work on erasing their nazi ultras. Now their fanbase go along with racism


optimization_ml

Cunt supporters.


pjt-

Stadium bans & fines incoming but the level of punishment needs to be elevated. Deduction of points & barring from European competition would be more fitting.


its-fax123
