Only once was it given to a black man from what it seems!? In 1995
Football is so beloved in all over the world, with countries in Latin America making it the pride of every neighborhood to support their local team. Yet we only see the reward rotate around English, Spanish, Italian and German players most of the time.

So what, we should award it based on the color of the skin?
Then where is the outrage about no Asian winning it, what about the middle east, what about north America?
If Mbappe had won would that have been counted as black or as french and western?

Got me thinking that even if they decided not to give Vini, what about Dani Cavarjal? He won it all last season, yes? The champions league competition, scored during the finals, won la liga, won the European championship with spain, say no more man. I feel like they be having underground issues with Real Madrid all because they be wanting these super league speculated to begin soon.

Real Madrid had 4 players entered in the Ballon d'Or last year, Ramos was not one of them, and saying that someone has issues with Real after they've won the title with 3 different players in the last decade it's just tinfoil conspiracy territory.

I am pretty sure it had nothing to do with his on-field attitude, but more about his on-field performance. Or more specifically, the lack of it.

Fair play is a criteria for the points.
