Far from staying silent, the content creator reported him on her social media — although at first she even wondered whether she was being too sensitive. She was not. The person responsible was identified as Ulises Miramontes, a Mexican fan attending the tournament, and the organization’s response was swift: he was banned from all World Cup events. 🚫

What hurts most is not just the gesture itself, but that it happened at one of the biggest sporting stages on the planet — a place that is supposed to celebrate diversity. How many situations like this happen without anyone recording or reporting them?
