HIGHLY CONTROVERSIAL!! AC Milan, Roma Condemn Monkey Artwork For Anti-Racism By Serie A

AC Milan say they “strongly disagree” with and were not consulted about the use of monkeys in artwork for a Serie A anti-racism campaign.

The ‘No To Racism’ posters show three monkeys with painted faces.

It comes less than three weeks after clubs pledged to combat Italian football’s “serious problem”.

“Art can be powerful, but we strongly disagree with the use of monkeys as images in the fight against racism,” said an AC Milan statement.

The club added they were “surprised by the total lack of consultation” over the artwork, which will be displayed at Serie A headquarters in Milan.

AS Roma also expressed their “surprise”, adding: “We understand the league wants to tackle racism but we don’t believe this is the right way to do it.”
