A Black Italian rugby player said Wednesday that a Secret Santa gift exchange turned offensive when teammates gave him a rotten banana.

Cherif Traore, a 28-year-old prop for Benetton Treviso , wrote that he anonymously received the present in a trash bag during a Christmas dinner with other players.

Apart from finding it an offensive gesture, what hurt me the most was to see that most of my teammates who were present were laughing. As if it was all normal, he said, per Reuters .

I havent slept all night, he continued.
