“I am writing this statement to clarify a situation that occurred yesterday during the La Liga match against Villarreal CF. First, I want to make one thing clear: at no time was the jersey referencing the people of Ceuta used for political purposes or to show contempt toward my people, the Moroccan people. This was a T-shirt with a social message in support of a community and its residents, regardless of their nationality who were going through a difficult time. That said, this is not an apology to anyone, and anyone who wishes to use this to cast doubt on my love for my country is free to do so; I will continue to live each day with my head held high and will continue to represent my roots with pride and dedication.”   submitted by   /u/Sparky-moon [link]   [comments]
