Team’s ‘chocolate’ tweet sparks racism row

13 gen 2018

Spartak Moscow created a storm on twitter after they posted a video with a racially insensitive remark on their official team twitter account.

“Watch chocolate melt in the sun,” accompanied a video of three black players stretching in the sun.

Racism in Russia is not view the same as other western countries. It’s unclear whether the players were aware of the tweet, nor if they’ve complained about it.

Watch the video below. What do you think?
