MILAN - A human chain to say "No to all racism". Suggestive,
symbolic, real; it was held this morning in Piazza Duomo in Milan and it saw
students, teachers, common citizens, and athletes of every race and colour
joined together to put on a display of equality, brotherhood and respect for
human dignity.
Everyone joined hands in order to publicly demonstrate their rejection of
racism and xenophobia, and also participating in this human chain was
Nerazzurri player Paolo Orlandoni. "It's an honour and a pleasure to be
here today representing Inter in the name of values that are so important.
Sport is an example of integration, just as Inter are a great example of
integration. And it's nice to see all these people hand in hand. Only together,
in this way, can we fight all forms of racism, on the International Day for the
Elimination of Racial Discrimination, which also coincides with the World Down
Syndrome Day," stated the Inter goalkeeper.
