Sorry for the offtopic, but let's be realistic for a second. Only the biggest people from pop culture and politicians get the privilege of "Innocent until proven guilty".Innocent until proven guilty. Not the other way around.
In any case, this is a bad look for us and for Serie A. Even if he is proven innocent, a lot of people don't continue checking up on the news and will keep spreading the rumour that we have a racist in the squad. This is going to be a PR disaster. I don't think Juan Jesus would lie about it, because lying about racist comments usually brings death threats with it. Hopefully it was a lot more innocent than how it looks.
We say a lot of things in the spur of the moment. If he said something like "you black bastard", I wouldn't really call it a horrible racist comment, just a mean comment that can rile you up. If he said something like "go climb a tree, you Brazilian monkey" yeeeeah, that would be bad. So at the best, it was something that made Juan Jesus uncomfortable, but not something that would make Acerbi look like Il Nuovo Mussolini.
Edit: only now I've seen what Acerbi supposedly said. Yeah, sounds amazingly stupid from Acerbi. He should take the L before it gets worse.
