In the text, the Cruzeiro board reinforces that it “repudiates any act that could mean incitement to violence”, after the athlete Wallace's posts.
Also according to the note, the apology that the athlete recorded on his social networks was a requirement of the club.
Cruzeiro also says, in the note, that we hope that the episode serves as a learning experience for everyone “with a reflection on the conscious use of social networks, and the responsibility that each one has in disseminating good values. Sport should be a tool to propagate equality, tolerance and respect.”
