Following the most recent El Trafico, a supporter of Los Angeles Football Club is said to have harassed Ghanaian winger Joseph Paintsil on the basis of his race.
Los Angeles Football Club and Los Angeles Galaxy played a derby match that Paintsil played the full time, with the Galaxy losing 2-1.
The 26-year-old won eight of the 17 ground battles during the match, made two of his six dribbling attempts successful, and passed the ball correctly 28 times out of 31.
However, following a blockbuster transfer from Belgian team KRC Genk, Paintsil’s stellar start to life in Major League Soccer (MLS) was shattered when someone shared a racist statement on Paintsil’s Instagram page following the defeat. in response to the Black Stars player’s “story.”
The person said, “Mon Key couldn’t do anything today,” along with a laughing emoji. The post received a lot of backlash in the Reddit comment section of social media.
