Hunger in Brazil

In 2022, the Second National Survey on Food Insecurity in the Context of the Covid-19 Pandemic in Brazil pointed out that 33.1 million people are not guaranteed what to eat — which represents 14 million new Brazilians in a situation of hunger.

Therefore, as these players mostly come from very poor families, it is to be expected a little more respect and that an example be set at least during the competition, which Brazilians culturally consider so important.

Players should remain disciplined like the athletes they are and not take pictures eating golden steak in a country where slave labor was used to build sumptuous stadiums in a day of almost 18 hours of work done by immigrants who have their passports confiscated.

Players should have respect for the millions of Brazilians who cannot get a decent meal a day.
