The fallout from Enzo Fernández and the Argentina national team’s racist chant has intensified as Argentina’s undersecretary of sport was sacked, while former France captain Hugo Lloris called it “an attack about French people.” Earlier this week, Fernández apologized for the video, which was posted on Instagram from the team bus after winning the Copa América, saying it does not “reflect my beliefs or my character.
“I am very sorry if my comment offended anyone, that was never my intention, and that is why I made my resignation available, although I will always be on the other side of discrimination in all its forms,” he wrote. The country’s vice-president, Victoria Villarruel, also slammed Fernández’s critics. “No colonialist country is going to intimidate us for a song that is sung on the pitch or for telling the truths that they do not want to admit,” she wrote on X.
