There's nothing going on here that isn't normal

Was Messi racist? Is he culpable for the actions of his countrymen?

I mean that had nothing to do with Messi though? Messi didn’t make any racist comments, Messi didn’t ask people to be racist, Messi stood up for his team that’s it.. What the rest of Argentina does isn’t his responsibility right? Why would you blame the captain of the football team for the country to be racist? As for Messi himself I’m pretty sure him and Neymar were as close as brothers, clearly not something you’d see a racist do

And Rodrygo literally started this cause Messi went onto lead his team in protest against their people being beaten up? Did you even see the bleeding guy’s images?

Those racist comments are wrong on so many different levels, but that is not Messi’s fault, in the issue between Rodrygo and Messi, any non biased guy knows it was just Rodrygo being a brat

A 19 year old tennis player or NBA player simply cannot go talk shit to Federer/ LeBron, that’s just being a dick to a legend

Did you visit the Real Madrid sub recently? Rodrigo getting racial comments has nothing to do with Messi yet everyone is talking shit about messi there, it’s like they couldn’t care less about Rodrigo they just got a reason to hate on messi again. Racism - bad. Rodrigo calling the argentine team “cowards” because they refused to play while the police were beating their fans in the stands - also bad. Both can be bad, no one is justifying racism nor is anyone saying he deserves it

By your logic Rodrygo is to blame for the Police brutality that Argentina fans suffer everytime they go to Brasil lol
