Last Thursday (31), journalist Tiago Leifert and influencer Sára Zarâ got involved in an intense exchange of opinions during a live broadcast on YouTube. The central theme was the loss of the Ballon d'Or by Vinicius Júnior, a Mengão and Real Madrid player, and whether racism had an influence on the decision. Leifert maintained his point of view, arguing that the Brazilian striker's second place in the award reflects only sporting criteria, while Zarâ argued that the experience of racism in sport should not be ignored.
The controversy began after criticism from Leifert, who questioned Vinicius' absence at the ceremony after learning that the winner would be Rodri. He publicly criticized the player on Monday (28/10) and reiterated his position on live, emphasizing that he considers the result “just football”. Influencer Zarâ, who has more than 450 thousand followers, countered the journalist's arguments, resulting in a discussion that drew attention on social media.
“THE GOLDEN BALL HAS BEEN UNFAIR FOR A LONG TIME”, DEFENDS LEIFERT
Tiago Leifert stated that the Ballon d'Or has been the target of criticism for many years, not just in relation to Vinicius Jr “It’s a controversial award, with controversial decisions in recent years,” he declared. “Vinicius lost because of racism?” asked Leifert, explaining that he does not see this connection in the context of the award. Zarâ, however, argued that the player faces a hostile environment, highlighting that “the reality for black athletes includes constant racial ordeals.”
Leifert reinforced his point, saying he did not believe that the result of the award involved any type of racist plot. "I don't hold my hand in the fire for the journalists who voted, but many simply don't appreciate Vinicius' style of play. Attributing racism to my speech is absurd", defended the journalist. Even so, Zarâ continued the criticism, pointing out that Leifert's speech could be interpreted in a broader and not so unilateral way.
SARÂ REBATE: “WE NEED TO HEAR THE OTHER SIDE”
The influencer took the moment to respond, questioning Leifert about his lack of openness to dialogue with communities that felt offended by his statements. “Tiago, I think you are intelligent enough to understand that criticism of what you said is not a cancellation,” said Zarâ. She suggested that Leifert consider listening to how those affected interpreted his speech before reacting to criticism.
The discussion continues to generate repercussions, especially among CRF fans, who share opinions about Vinicius Júnior's behavior and attitude on and off the field. The question raised by Zarâ is a starting point for the importance of debating the perception of racism in football, which affects not only players, but also their admirers.

The influencer highlighted that the singer's father "is not happy" with the indictment.
Oruam's bride talks about Marcinho VP's opinion: "Contrary to what many people think, my father-in-law is not happy about any of this news."
She continued: "He and my mother-in-law fought tirelessly throughout their lives for their children to change the family's destiny. However, this never stopped the constant psychological torments they faced over time ," she wrote in an excerpt.
Fernanda further reinforces MC Poze's idea by saying that the agents' intention was to "destabilize" Oruam: "At all costs, they persecute, threaten, make jokes and adopt an aggressive posture until they get what they want, which is to destabilize Mauro so that he reacts exactly the way they always criticize or point out ," she declared.
Hours before presenting himself to authorities, Oruam posted a video on social media: "I'm going to turn myself in, guys. I'm not a criminal, okay? I'm sorry to everyone I wronged, if you thought I was wrong. I'm going to bounce back and win through my music ."

Rayane Figliuzzi , Belo's girlfriend, gave her opinion on Gracyanne Barbosa's stance after the pagodeiro admitted his romance with the businesswoman. She participated in the Link Podcast, last Wednesday (23), and reacted when the presenter said he found it "disrespectful" that the fitness muse had said she would like to get back together.
Rayanne comments on Gracyanne's speech: "I take care of myself a lot, I do a lot of therapy and I take great care of myself emotionally because I don't want to take that energy for myself."
She continued: "I really respect what they went through... a lot, I can't blame Belo, because he's not to blame. It's about the other person, it's not about him or me. I wish her a lot of happiness, I think she deserves to be happy and find someone. If she finds someone like Belo, I think she'll be fine. I think it's just happiness, and I always wish her love ," she declared.
Rayane also says that she makes Belo feel comfortable about dating: "Belo knows that I respect the entire transition he's making, and it's in his own time, and I make him feel comfortable doing whatever he wants. I say, 'Honey, if you don't want to be with me, you're free to be with whoever you want .'
And he says: 'Love, if I'm with you, it's because I want to be with you.' We're not tied to each other. I give him what he needs, and he gives me what I need. We complete each other and are happy ," he said.
She also compared Gracyanne 's stance to an earlier phase of her life: "I've been in that place when I ended a relationship. My ex started dating a girl. I'm a mother, and I had to have contact with him, and he was in another relationship. When we like someone, it's bad, even if it ended for bad reasons. It's bad to let go. Sometimes we don't even like the person anymore, but we're still attached ," she believes.
