Argentina fired their Under Secretary for Sports Julio Garro, for suggesting that Lionel Messi should apologise for his teammates singing a racist and homophobic song aimed at France after their Copa America victory, on Sunday, reports dailymail.co.uk. Following a lacklustre 1-0 win over Colombia in the 2024 Copa America final, midfielder Enzo Fernandez livestreamed himself and teammates singing the discriminatory song on the team bus. Amid the backlash, Garro spoke on the issue, a decision that would backfire right away. Garro appeared on the radio station, Urbana Play and suggested the Argentine captain apologise for his team’s actions.
