Ghanaian forward Antoine Semenyo subjected to racist abuse on Instagram
Manchester City and Ghana national team striker Antoine Semenyo has once again become a victim of racism on social media.
Details: The 26-year-old footballer shared a screenshot in the stories of his official Instagram account, exposing a comment from one of the users. In the image, you can see the user left an offensive message under one of Semenyo's posts, using a racial slur and a monkey emoji.
The abuse surfaced shortly after a match in which the forward failed to deliver the expected result. The comment read:
"By the time you sit on the bench for about 15 games, you'll learn how to play football, black monkey."
Semenyo did not let the incident slide, captioning the screenshot with a brief but deeply disappointed phrase:
“It's started again” – adding a pensive emoji.
Reminder: Antoine Semenyo named the greatest African player of all time.
