A director at one of Brazil's top football club Santos has been forced to stand down after making racist comments. Nature of his remarks and the club's failure to sack him prompted a huge social media campaign across the country. Our America's editor Leonardo Rocha reports. In a recording leaked on Thursday, Adilson Durante-Filho said that mixed-race people were crooks and couldn't be trusted. Supporters of Santos immediately called for action. They said his racist comments were a disgrace for a club that had given the world players like Pele and Lima, all of them black or mixed race like the majority of the Brazilian population. The club issued a statement regretting the comments but refuse to act. After intense social media pressure, Mr. Durante-Filho has finally resigned.
