The club has criticized the Italian Football Federation for clearing Acerbi of racism charges against Jesus and is thinking about removing the “No to Racism” badge from their jerseys as a protest.
During an Inter vs. Napoli match, Jesus accused Acerbi of using a racial slur, an accusation Acerbi denied. The federation ultimately acquitted Acerbi.
Napoli faces Atalanta on Saturday, March 30th, in a crucial match for their league standings, with Atalanta just two points ahead of them.
