Before the match between Napoli and Atalanta, the Italian players made a gesture of great significance: all on their knees at theinnovative of the Serie A League, recalling the global Black Lives Matter campaign. This act, promoted by the company, was a clear message against racism.
The players' gesture has a strong emotional impact and follows a few days after the episode involving Juan Jesus and Acerbi in the match between Napoli and Inter, but above all the decision of the Sports Judge not to sanction the Nerazzurri defender after the racist insults directed at the Brazilian player from the Neapolitan team.

Napoli, embracing this message, wanted to reaffirm its commitment to an inclusive football that respects the dignity of every individual.
