Laura Woods wades in on vile Vinicius Jr racism with swipe at "pathetic" LaLiga chief

Laura Woods has criticised LaLiga's president Javier Tebas for his response to the appalling racism Vinicius Junior suffered on Sunday.

Vinicius was racially abused by home supporters during the game between Valencia and Real Madrid at the Mestalla. The Brazilian has called on LaLiga to take action against the racists, but Tebas has astonishingly told Vinicius to "inform yourself properly".

The player has accused Tebas of launching an "attack" at him rather than criticising the racists. Woods has called Tebas "pathetic" and believes it's down to LaLiga and the game's authorities to tackle the problem, urging the likes of Tebas to "look at themselves".
