Dele Alli will miss the return of the Premier League. The Federation has sanctioned him with a match – next Friday against Manchester United – and a 60,000 euro fine for a video he published on his social networks in February in which he mocked an Asian man regarding the coronavirus.
The Tottenham footballer uploaded a video of an Asian man with the text: “Crown what, please listen loudly.” In the next part of Snapchat, Alli wore a mask while pretending to be concerned and showing a bottle of hand washing. The Englishman deleted the video within minutes and apologized twice, but the Federation has concluded that it has racist overtones.
“In response to the Federation's decision I would like to apologize again for any offenses that have caused my behavior. It was a bad joke that has affected us more than we could have imagined. “
Further, Alli will have to participate in an educational course of the Federation cas part of the fine.
