AS Roma footballer says there was 'no racist intent' in banana comment captured in video
CNN
AS Roma player Felix Afena-Gyan says he believes there was "no racist intent" in a comment made by an unidentified person while the Ghanaian forward unboxed a new pair of shoes given to him by manager Jose Mourinho.
In a video posted on social media Monday, the 18-year-old forward is seen unwrapping the gift after he scored the only goals in Roma's 2-0 win over Genoa on Sunday.
In an otherwise touching moment, Afena-Gyan and Mourinho hug once the gift is initially revealed, but an unidentified person can be heard in the background saying, "There are bananas inside," in Italian.
