Part 6/9:
Argentina experienced success on the global stage, winning the Copa América in the United States after previously winning the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. However, this triumph was marred by a controversial incident where Argentine players were captured using racist chants during celebrations, highlighting persistent issues of racism and homophobia within football.
The Spanish league also faced similar challenges. Brazilian player Vinícius Júnior was repeatedly subjected to racial abuse both on and off the pitch, prompting legal actions against the offending fans. Other incidents included investigations into sexual assault involving former Chilean players and the arrest of Robinho in Brazil due to a conviction for rape in Italy.
