The text includes facts like Neto being a star running back, the racial insults, and Neto and Andy teaming up. It doesn't explain why the fans acted that way (no deep - seated reasons given), doesn't encourage the reader to believe in something (no call - to - action), and doesn't express opinions (it's more of a factual account).
