In this episode, we discuss the all too familiar story of a black footballer, Vinicius Jr, being racially abused by an opposition team's fans in Spain.

We dive into what sanctions should exist to drive this out of the stadiums and in doing so, we explore whether it's a wider societal problem in both Spain and other European countries.

Although the incident happened a few weeks back, the issue is sadly not going away anytime soon.
