The Brazilian rugby union (Confederação Brasileira de Rugby Union) has made an official statement following a racist incident happened in an U19 Test Match between Brazil and Paraguay. The Brazilian Curumins defeated Paraguay, but before the match conclusion a racist slur was made by a Paraguayan player. The official statement reads as follows:

“The Brazilian Rugby Confederation (CBRu) informs that a regrettable a racism incident occurred against one of the athletes of the U19 men’s team during a friendly match held in Paraguay on July 26, 2024.

“Unfortunately, this is not an isolated case and the CBRu reiterates that it vehemently repudiates any manifestation of racist or discriminatory content against any person, regardless of their ethnic origin, race, color, nationality, social class, gender or sexual orientation, especially in the Rugby environment, a sport that stands out for its values of respect, inclusion and fair play.

“We firmly believe that no form of discrimination should be tolerated. This type of conduct is unacceptable in Rugby, whether in Brazil, South America or anywhere in the world.

“CBRu, together with South America Rugby and all national and regional federations, must come together and adopt appropriate and definitive measures to ensure that regrettable incidents of this nature do not happen again and are reproved in an exemplary manner. It is essential that everyone involved works together to promote a safe, respectful and welcoming environment for all athletes, fans and members of the rugby community.

“We also reinforce our commitment to supporting our athletes and reiterate our commitment to the fight against racism and discrimination in all its forms.”

This isn’t the first time that such an incident has happened as in the last twelve months the Brazilian union has made an additional two other statements regarding racist incidents involving Brazilian teams in international club and national team games.

REACH OUT TO TECH CYBER FORCE RECOVERY FOR A GREAT JOB

WhatsApp +15617263697

Fine wine and crypto do not always blend well, especially after a few drinks. I learned this the hard way after a record harvest at my vineyard. Swirling an old Cabernet under the stars, I was a financial connoisseur, my $720,000 Bitcoin wallet aging well for future returns. But the next morning, with a hangover as intense as my Merlion, I realized I'd forgotten my wallet password. Even worse, my recovery phrase, which I'd written down in my wine cellar notebook, had vanished. My eager new assistant had tidied up, mistaking my scribbled security notes for wine tasting spillage, and donated the entire book to the recycling gods. I dove into the garbage cans like a desperate sommelier searching for a quality grape but came up with broken dreams and soggy cardboard. Panic set in faster than cork taint. I faced the bitter truth: my digital fortune was bottled up tighter than a corked bottle with no opener. I sank into denial, questioning whether my future vineyard expansion would now be reduced to selling boxed wine. I panicked, pored over industry publications, and came across a wine industry newsletter that mentioned Tech Cyber Force Recovery. Their slogan, something playful about "decanting lost crypto," seemed like a sign from God. I contacted them, half-expecting snobbery or skepticism. What I received instead were tech wizards who tackled my case with humor and precision. Their team labored over my case like veteran sommeliers dissecting terroir. They painstakingly reconstructed transaction flows, timestamp records, and subtle wallet behavior. It was as if I was watching wine connoisseurs sniff out hints of blackcurrant and oak, but with algorithms and blockchain forensics. Each day, they provided updates with the finesse of tasting notes. “We’re detecting progress, notes of potential access, hints of password recovery on the finish.” Their creativity lightened my anxiety, and ten days later, they uncorked my digital vault. When I saw my Bitcoin balance restored, I nearly opened a bottle of my best vintage at 9 AM. My assistant and I shared a hearty laugh; he's still working for me, but now he labels my ledgers with "DO NOT TOUCH" in bold. My wine business is thriving thanks to Tech Cyber Force Recovery, and I have a new rule: passwords before Pinot. Cheers to their genius!
