Enzo Fernandez Apologizes for Racist Chant, Chelsea Investigates Amid Dressing Room Rift
Jul 18, 2024, 11:01 AM
Enzo Fernandez, a Chelsea midfielder, has issued an apology following a video showing him and other Argentina players singing a racist and homophobic chant after their Copa America victory. The incident has sparked significant controversy, leading to calls for severe punishment from figures such as Darren Bent. The fallout has also affected the Chelsea dressing room, causing a rift among players. In response, Chelsea has opened an investigation into the matter. Argentina's Vice President Victoria Villarruel defended Fernandez, criticizing the backlash as hypocritical and asserting that no colonialist country should intimidate Argentina. Additionally, Julio Garro, Argentina's Sports Undersecretary, was dismissed after suggesting that Lionel Messi should apologize for the chants. The incident has drawn widespread criticism, including from former footballer Hugo Lloris, who condemned the chant as an attack on French people. The aftermath has highlighted ongoing issues of racism in football and the need for greater accountability.
