Racist remark
Print Edition
SAMPDORIA President Massimo Ferrero apologized after saying he told Massimo Moratti to “kick out that Filipino” in reference to Indonesian businessman Erick Thohir, in the latest racism gaffe to hit Italian football.
“I did not mean to disrespect Mr. Thohir, the Inter directors or the people of the Philippines, who I have always had wonderful relationships with,” Ferrero said. “I was trying to praise Massimo Moratti and all he has given to Inter and Italian football for 20 years.” During an interview on a television show earlier in the day, Ferrero discussed Moratti’s decision to resign as honorary president of Inter Milan. “It’s not right that Moratti was treated this way, I am very upset for him,” Ferrero said. “I had told him: kick out that Filipino.”
