SHAME ON YOU DEJAN MILOASAVLJEVIC!
French outside hitter Earvin Ngapeth can’t take it anymore and finally decides to share some crazy and scary messages from one of his haters named Dejan Milosavljevic – reportedly he is Serbian. After yesterday’s victory against Serbia to qualify for the Final 4 of the 2015 EuroVolley, Dejan sent these threatening messages to Ngapeth.
Take note, the harassment started all the way back in July of this year.
Per Earvin:
J’en ai marre! Suite à notre victoire contre la Serbie voila le message que j’ai reçu, et comme vous pouvez le voir sur les dates cela n’a pas commencé aujourd’hui. Des messages d’ailleurs similaire à ceux de beaucoup de personnes (Françaises comme moi) après mon histoire avec l’agent SNCF que j’ai évidemment gardé en lieu sur.
Je suis métissé Français camerounais et fier de l’être, je ne cesserais jamais de mouiller les maillots des bleus avec honneur et grande fierté. J’aurais aimé après notre qualification partager avec vous des moments de sourire et de bonheur mais ce soir je ne peux pas c’est trop grave et je prefere vous rappelez à tous que le racisme existe vraiment et que je suis un de ces sportifs français métissés africains qui le combattra jusqu’à mon dernier souffle.
Translation: I am fed up! Following our victory against Serbia here is the message I received. As you can see from the dates, it did not just start today. I am mixed, Cameroonian-French and I proud of it. I will never stop wearing blue jersey with honor and pride. After our qualification, I wanted to share with you moments of joy and happiness but tonight I can’t. The situation is too serious and I prefer to emphasize that racism really exists. I am one of those French-African race mixed athletes who will fight until my last breath.”
It really breaks our heart to read such racist remarks.
Plus, the fact that this guy wishes death on Earvin and his family is just SERIOUS and SCARY.
BE SAFE EARVIN!!!!!!
