But Souza’s apology, not new to posts that aren’t too popular – like those in favor of the president Jair Bolsonaro -, they weren’t enough. In fact, on the same day, Minas communicates to the player the termination of the contract, and it was he who made it known “Souza’s behavior is unacceptable. As for the Brazilian team, there is no room for homophobic professionals,” the club said.
The controversy reached as far as Italy where the colleague took sides against Souza Douglas Souza. The new spiker from Vibo Valentia, a gay icon for some time engaged in the defense of LGBT rights, has clearly criticized the words of his partner. To his three million Instagram followers he wrote: “Strange that I didn’t go straight on seeing male superheroes kissing women. If such an image worries you, I’m sorry, but I have something new for your fragile heterosexuality. Yes, there will be a kiss. Thanks DC for thinking of representing all of us and not just one part “.
Voice out of the chorus it was instead that of Felipe Melo, Palmeiras midfielder, former Fiorentina, Juve and Inter: “You are a man of value, count on me”, he wrote on social media in support of Mauricio Souza.
