Uma análise à luz dos direitos humanos sobre o racismo no futebol brasileiro

Abstract

The present work analyzes the legal confrontation of racism in Brazilian football from the perspective of human rights and the current constitutional order. Football is approached as a social phenomenon of great cultural relevance in Brazil, in which historical and structural inequalities present in society are reproduced. The research adopts a qualitative methodology, with a descriptive and analytical character, based on bibliographic research, legislative analysis, and the examination of concrete cases of major repercussion in Brazilian football. Constitutional and international foundations for protection against racial discrimination are examined, as well as the performance of ordinary courts and Sports Justice in cases of racist practices occurring within the sporting environment. The study engages with contemporary legal doctrine, especially the concept of structural racism, in order to understand the limits and challenges of the application of Law in combating racism in football. It is concluded that, although there are sufficient normative foundations for confronting racial discrimination, institutional responses remain uneven and, at times, insufficient, revealing the need for a more rigorous and coherent legal action aligned with the protection of human dignity.
