Why footballers are all using the hashtag?
During a match against Villarreal in 2014, Barcelona right-back Dani Alves wanted to take a corner and the fans threw a banana for him to eat, because of the color of his skin.

He was racially abused and it’s unacceptable. Therefore, a lot of top players took to their page to show support to the Brazilian.
The likes of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Neymar Jr, Luis Suarez and Philippe Coutinho posted a photo eating banana and also used a hashtag of ‘We’re all monkeys’ Say no to racism.
