MESSI’S ARGENTINA: GOATS OF RACISM

Another racism row has hit Argentina’s footballers. After beating Colombia to lift the Copa America trophy, they sang racist songs about Black French players. It was live-streamed by Argentine star Enzo Fernandez (@ezojfernandez) who’s now facing an investigation by French football authorities and his English club Chelsea.

Similar racist songs were sung by Argentina fans at the Qatar World Cup less than two years ago. Despite condemnation, we now have the Argentina players joining in. Players who star in a side that doesn’t have a single Black player.
