“We are human, we have feelings”: emotional video of Uruguayan players after the death of ‘Morro’
With the death of Santiago el ‘Morro’ García, football in general received a hard slap on an issue that is rarely talked about: the mental health of professionals who are protagonists of football.
For the above, Uruguayan players from all the first division clubs joined together to make a video about the death of the Godoy Cruz striker, who committed suicide.
Under the motto “Let’s put the ball down”, footballers make a call to be responsible with the outlets of the fans on social networks.
The exColo Colo Mathías Cardacio It begins by saying, “Before you start watching this video, I want you to answer these questions.” Later, several players begin to ask: “Do you do everything right? Do you always have the results you want? Do you always win? Are all your days good?”
The former University of Chile continues Guzman Pereira: “We are soccer players, but first we are people.”
“Like you, like your brothers like your mother or father,” continue the footballers, who seek to raise awareness among fans.
Let’s reflect together.
