“Before being soccer players, we are people,” says Juan Álvez, a Fénix footballer, in the first seconds of the video that circulates on social networks and in which players from different Uruguayan soccer teams participate after an initiative of their own.
With that message as a common thread, the video seeks to make fans reflect on the reactions they have towards footballers that were previously noticeable in each field of our football from the fence and that today multiplied on social networks.
Different events in recent days are just one proof of this and that is why the united footballers seek to give a message to the fans so that the work of the players can develop normally and “that before insulting us, harassing us or discriminating against us because we had a bad day, take a minute to reflect. “
“In each message that you leave from anonymity it hurts me. It hurts our families and affects us all,” reflect the footballers in the video.
It should be noted that the idea of making the video and giving a clear message It was the initiative of the footballers themselves and that in a few hours they managed to get together so that it can be done as quickly as possible and thus make the fans reflect.
