<br>Editorial
<br>
<br>The racial abuse directed at Ebenezer Akinsanmiro during the Brescia Sampdoria match is a stark reminder of the persistent [challenges](https://www.footballinnigeria.com.ng/merchandising-and-branding/nigerian-striker-officially-joins-fc-nantes-feminine-from-galatasaray/) of racism in football. Despite concerted efforts by governing bodies, incidents like this demonstrate the need for [stricter measures](https://www.footballinnigeria.com.ng/international-nigerian-footballers/liverpool-add-two-nigerian-players-to-uefa-champions-league-squad/) and zero tolerance for discriminatory behavior in sports.
<br>
<br>In the 21st minute, the referee halted proceedings and warned the crowd through the stadium announcer, stressing that further discriminatory actions could lead to the match’s suspension. Akinsanmiro, who later celebrated Sampdoria's opening goal in front of the Brescia supporters, received a [yellow card](https://www.footballinnigeria.com.ng/category/football-history/) for his actions. He was subsequently substituted by coach Leonardo Semplici before halftime to protect him from further provocation.
<br>
<br>Sampdoria’s support for Akinsanmiro sends a strong message of unity and underscores the importance of clubs standing by their players in such situations. However, lasting change requires collaboration between fans, clubs, and football authorities to create a truly inclusive environment.

<br>For Akinsanmiro, this incident highlights his resilience and determination to continue growing as a footballer amid challenges. His journey from Beyond Limits to Italy’s competitive leagues serves as an inspiration, showing that talent and hard work can transcend barriers.
