Enzo Fernandez apologizes for racist and transphobic chants am#futbolamericas #seleccionargentina

Thank you for talking about the transphobia. That part is just as bad as the racism, but lots of nonracists are transphobes so they don't care. However, I don't like how you stopped short of calling Enzo a racist. If you do racist things, that makes you a racist. Full effing stop.

Thank you for covering this without defending / explaining away

Argentina players outside of enzo r gonna need to face heat too.... martinez, macallister etc

The song was meant to poke fun and irritate the French players. Them acting like it’s not bad is ridiculous or else they wouldn’t be singing it.

[casanova]

It's funny how people here deny Fernandez racist behavior when they haven't even played against France ? Which means that you had a hatred of dark players for a long time and at that moment you were able to say everything you felt through euphoria.

[ninjalectualx]

Did he use comic sans as an insult? Is he just not taking this seriously?

[nicolebrown]

Good!!! Hold him accountable!!!! I lived in Argentina and it’s racist and classist. You could say whatever you want but as long as I have the coin to live in Palermo and Recoleta, middle fingers up

[calvinhicks]

To be honest it wasn’t what I’d call “racist”. The song eluded to the idea that the players were African and not French. They have French nationality but are ethnically African. I myself hold American, British and Jamaican nationalities but am ethnically African. It’s not wrong pointing it out but at the same time I’ll say this, the Argentinian players aren’t ethnic natives of Argentina. How many of them are Italian? Spanish? Polish? German? 👍🏿

Apology was never needed. That chant was not racist at all. But what can he do, he needed to or else he'd risk his millions.

[amarasovich]

You guys have no clue man. This has nothing to do with racism. Check your own gilt. What was Bob Marley’s first song?

[crimnvL]

We don't like Argentians except for Messi

[mannytuzo]

I had to stop the video when they referred to the “p*to” chant as homophobic 🙄 american woke social justice warriors

[s_monsterkid]

An absolute nothing burger. He was speaking facts.

[yamilaspinelli]

Lo mal interpretan, no es literal . La idea es decir que Francia nacionaliza por ser los mejores deportistas, nadie habló de color !! Es algo que en futbol se dice de siempre. En argentina no somos blancos, somos mestizos de varias razas y no tenemos problemas con nuestros orígenes y tampoco que lo digan, no lo entendemos como algo malo. De todas hay 7 mil millones de personas en el mundo con diferentes historia, contextos, idiomas, dialectos y no tienen por qué saber que todos los contextos.

apparently they don't have U.S. hip hop in Europe we have worse songs than that on the charts for the last 25 years and it's not even close.. American media actually pretending this song is worse than what Americans actually listen to in the car everyday
