Mourinho accused of 'justifying racism' over Vinicius Jr remarks

Television pundits on Amazon Prime criticised Jose Mourinho for comments about Vinicius Jr, accusing him of justifying racial abuse. Clarence Seedorf said: "I think he is still emotional. I think he made a big mistake today to justify racial abuse. He's saying it's OK, when Vinicius provokes you, to be racist - and I think that is very wrong.

We should never, ever justify racial abuse. Vinicius has had enough of that unjustified behaviour from people. I know Mourinho by heart would agree with me but he expressed himself a bit unfortunately, I believe." Former Arsenal star Theo Walcott added: "I am quite calm and composed and I am not someone who gets angry often.

I love everything Jose Mourinho has done in football but I think he has made a poor decision in that sense.
