Enrique, the Flamengo player who was accused of racism against Chelsea's Hakim Ziyech, has been given a suspended sentence and fined by the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF). The decision was announced on Tuesday, with Enrique being banned from playing for Brazil national team until June 2021.

The incident occurred during a friendly match between Flamengo and Inter Miami in July last year, where Enrique made racist comments towards Ziyech after he scored a goal. The incident sparked outrage across the footballing world, with many calling for the punishment to be severe.

However, the CBF decided that Enrique would not face any further punishment, as they felt that his actions were isolated incidents and did not reflect his overall character or commitment to the sport. As a result,Campeonato Brasileiro Direct Enrique will serve a three-month suspension and pay a fine of $45,000 ($68,000).

While this is a step in the right direction, it is important to remember that racism remains a serious issue in football and should never be tolerated. It is also crucial that players and clubs take responsibility for their言行, and that they use their platform to promote positive messages and values.

In conclusion, while the punishment may seem harsh, it is important to hold those responsible for such behavior accountable and ensure that football continues to be a safe and inclusive environment for all. With the help of the CBF and other organizations, we can work towards creating a future where racism is no longer a problem in football.
