Football goes 'banana' to support Dani Alves over racism.

In the aftermath of the banana throwing incident, where a banana was thrown from the crowd at Barcelona defender Dani  Alves during a game between Barcelona and Villarreal, several footballers and other people, in a show of solidarity have taken pictures with bananas and posted them online.

After the match, Alves spoke about the incident; “We have suffered this in Spain for some time, you have to take it with a dose of humour. We aren’t going to change things easily. If you don’t give it importance, they don’t achieve their objective. I don’t know who it was, but thanks to whoever threw the banana, the potassium gave me the energy for the two crosses which led to a goal.”
