Maurício Luiz de Souza (born 29 September 1988) is a Brazilian volleyball player, member of the Brazil men's national volleyball team, 2016 Olympic Champion, silver medallist of the 2018 World Championship, gold medallist of the 2019 World Cup, three–time South American Champion (2013, 2015, 2017), 2014 Turkish Champion. He was sacked from the Minas Tênis Clube in October 2021 after sharing a post about Jon Kent, the son of Superman, being revealed to be bisexual.[1]

Personal life

Maurício Souza is married to Isabella Saldanha Castro and has two children, a girl and a boy.[2]

Political positioning

Maurício Souza is a public supporter of Jair Bolsonaro.[3] Shortly after the defeat of the Brazilian volleyball team at the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo, the athlete was received by Jair Bolsonaro and his son, Eduardo Bolsonaro (PSL), at Palácio do Planalto, in Brasília.[4] On the occasion, Maurício Souza presented the politicians with t-shirts of the Brazilian volleyball team.[5] The player's support for the Bolsonaro family had been known since 2018, when he and Wallace de Souza, his national team partner, went viral on the internet after posing for a photo in which they made, with their fingers, the number 17, which represented Bolsonaro in the ballot boxes during the 2018 Brazilian presidential election.[6]

Statements about homosexuals

Souza has posted homophobic messages considered homophobic on his social networks in the past, which generated controversy. In 2014 he made a post against homosexuality, but apologized for it after a public backlash. Another made in 2017 was removed ten hours later.[7][8][9]

In 2021, Souza criticized the comic character Jonathan Samuel Kent, who in the DC Universe is the son of Superman/Clark Kent and Lois Lane, for being revealed as bisexual.[10] After a negative reaction, Fiat and Gerdau, sponsors of Minas Tênis Clube, the team the athlete works for, demanded measures from the club's board of directors and repudiated the player's attitude.[11] The sports team then decided to fine[12] and temporarily remove Souza,[13] in addition to stating that "the player's opinions do not represent the beliefs of the partner sports institution" and that he should recant.[14][15] The organized supporters Independente Minas also released a statement in which it said it "will ignore the athlete Maurício Souza in social networks, games and demonstrations".[16] After the controversy, Souza published a message of retraction for the statements on his Twitter account.[17] However, on October 27, 2021, the team terminated their contract with him.[18] Renan Dal Zotto, coach of the Brazilian Men's Volleyball Team, said he "was disappointed" with the conduct of Maurício Souza and that "there is no room for homophobic professionals" in the selection.[19]
