Messi Branded 'Selfish' for Silence on Argentina's Racist Chants - Ex-Chelsea Star's Scathing Rebuke

In a shocking turn of events, Lionel Messi, the iconic captain of the Argentine national team, has been heavily criticized for his silence on the racist chanting incident that occurred during his team's Copa America victory celebrations. Former Chelsea and England striker Carlton Cole has condemned Messi, calling him "selfish" for failing to speak up and condemn the discriminatory behavior of his teammates.
The controversy erupted after members of the Argentina squad were filmed singing a song mocking the African heritage of players in the French national team. The French Football Federation has since announced plans to file an official complaint with FIFA over the incident.
Cole's blistering comments have reignited the debate around Messi's role as a global superstar and the responsibility he holds to use his platform to address issues of racism and discrimination in the sport. As the investigation into the incident continues, all eyes will be on the eight-time Ballon d'Or winner to see if he will finally break his silence and address the growing backlash.

Saying the facts is not racism. France badly uses all African resources including humen to achieve its goals. Ask Zidane and Benzima.

Unless Messi comes out to speak against racism we will have to assume he condones it, boycott him and the whole Argentinian team. Fifa must take action against them too.
