are the argentinian players sure they want to play the passport vs origin game?

[NickChemist-yfoj]

Anyone else find it super odd that right after Argentina win a copa America they think about France ? Imagine if France had won the euros, you think they would be thinking about Argentina .

[HouseOfJolene]

Racism is genuinely an obsession. I have never seen anyone more obsessed with something than people who are racist towards black people in my entire life. It's like having a creepy stalker that cannot have a single moment without thinking about you. Those players were playing the copa america game and they STILL have the french african players on their minds. It's genuinely creepy.

[SirTibzy]

Why'd they cut it off before we got to hear what Craig had to say?

[anhonyr]

To avoid the subject a lot of Argentinians are saying that France is a colonialist country.
But in the other side a lot of Argentinians say that they are PROUD that their country was built by their italian, spanish ancestors, meanwhile Italy and Spain were both COLONIAL POWERS...
Who is really hypocrite??

[TheDYNAMITE]

You can visibly see Shaka struggling with this, being a natural pacifist this must be really hard for him to unpack on the air

[Ftball]

You can tell that bigotry is alive and well by the comments in this thread-- a load of dismissive, minimizing statements that reflect poorly on commenters' abilities to self-reflect

[modk]

Almost a week later we hear from ESPN 🤔

[Leandro.Patagonia]

So now Angolan is an insult?. What should Angolans feel then?

[sharjesm]

There are racist connotations to the chant. It's also casual racism hiding as "banter". The fact that the chant only targets ethnicity of black players is very telling. Griezmann has German and Portuguese ancestory, but not included in any chants. Theo Hernandez has Spanish ancestry, but not part of any chants. Cause they are white. Infact all the Argentnian players basically have Italian and Spanish ancestry with some players having local admixture. Most of their players could have chose to play for Italy or Spain. This whole thing is ignorant on many levels. Racism is ignorance of true human histroy and genetics.

The players "French" started in the 2018 wc calling Messi dwarf and weak in a song and the Germans also, after becoming champions in 2014, laughed at the Gauchos and said nothing

[DM-bnkv]

I’m wondering why you ESPN didn’t covered until today?

[reigniv]

Took ya'll long enough ESPN seriously! So disappointed

[ibuprofenopa]

Imagine if the Argentine had a chant about what the french actually did to the African people. Would they ban that too? 👀

[victortepes]

Gotze, Schurle, Kroos, encouraged by the historic World Cup scorer, Miroslav Klose, walk crouching singing "this is how the gauchos walk", during the celebration at the Brandenburg Gate, did you see Messi, Di Maríau Otamendi crying over the social media?

[estebandimi]

WHAT ABOUT APOLOGIES OF GRIEZMANN AND DEMEBLE AGAINST ASIANS? 😂😂

[eddycarpenter]

argentinians being argentinians. nothing to see here

[Iamtheiguana]

They dont reflect my beliefs or character, but he sang it so clearly he had heard it before and learned it so he knew what it meant and then he posted it online. Apologies are good but I think this will have some penalties to come

[joegrinefine]

The reason France was mentioned was because of Kylian Mbappe's comment about South American football during the 2022 Qatar World Cup and his recent comment again about the Euros being more difficult than the World up, Shaka🙃

[localartist]

Argentinians have deep sentiments about black people for sure but European immigrants in South American hating on Black immmigrants in Europe is diabolical!!!
