The violator of the work, to the surprise and indignation of many, He is a fictional Espanyol football player.

“The work is about a case in which, after demonstrating against a rape conviction, a girl publishes an opinion piece that turns her into a public figure and puts her in the spotlight. So far everything is perfect. So it turns out, look how unlucky it is, the rapist is a football player. And another coincidence, this is from a team from the city. Guess which one? Bingo. He is an RCDE player. That’s also bad luck, yeah…” he shared on his Twitter profile (X) @AlbertASRCDE.

“Anyone imagine what would happen if the rapist’s nationality, race, or affiliation with a particular political party or other association were indicated? Well, yes, it would be a mess. Obviously… This is not about transgressive humor or thin skin. or rivalry.sports. “It stigmatizes the group and equates it to a serious crime to be a fan of a particular football team.” – the user concludes.

“A rapist who is an Espanyol footballer to laugh at the relegation and continue to promote hostility towards everything related to Espanyolism among children. This is not a game or a culture. This is nonsense that needs to be reported and it happened in Barcelona. How easy it is to attack and disrespect a club like Espanyol“, he also reacted on his profile @BrianCalvo.

The case of Dani Alves on stage

Among the criticism that users have poured out on social networks in recent hours, one name is repeated in many publications: Dani Alves. The former Barça footballer, who a few weeks ago appeared before the Investigative Court No. 15 of Barcelona on January 30, 2022, for sexual assault, remains in prison.

“How easy it is to attack and disrespect a club like Espanyol for its institutional weakness and I cannot name the reality that happened a few days ago with the trial of the former FC Barcelona player. It would be nice to change the script“, condemned @deharojavier61.

“The problem is they are doing this to #rcde because of institutional weakness. On the contrary, they know that they cannot do it.. And, as with former player Alves, they will be frowned upon and will not have the opportunity to promote themselves against the majority. “This is cowardice,” says @David_RCDE.

“They are attacking us because there is no one in the club to protect us,” says another user. At the moment, Espanyol have not made any statement on this matter.. The team will play against Mirandes at the RCDE Stadium this evening. We’ll see if there are any demonstrations on this issue in the stands after it was revealed a few weeks ago that Hugo Maio will have to stand trial on charges of sexually assaulting the Espanyol mascot.
