Diomande Takes a Rule with Racism: Has Been Exposed to Raciality in the United States

It is the Nettavisen who mentioned the case first.

Adama Diomande rules racism after claiming to have been called "Negro" at the Los Angeles Cup match against Portland Timbers in the United States on Wednesday.

Diomande has been in the lighthouse and flame in the United States lately. Against Portland Timbers in the quarterfinal final of the US Cup, the Norwegian did not arrive at the scoreboard, but he arrived at the center of attention.

After Los Angeles' 3-2 win, Diomande posted a message on Instagram where he claims to have experienced racism. An opponent must have commented on his skin color.

– Today, the first time of my professional career, I have been dubbed the "N-word" on the track. They will be sorry and will ask that I ignore it, but if I do not say anything about racism, it will only grow.

– No matter what country you come from, the color, the religion and the language you speak, We are all people and we must respect each other, he writes.

Diomande, 28, was recently named player of the month in Major League Soccer. The council came to MLS and the US in May this year after a stay in Hull.
