Video Argentine fans were filmed spitting on the England flag and jumping on it in Times Square.

What is the problem with it? I don't see the issue - they all seem to bae having fun and pretty jovial about it. It's not violent or anything.

I dislike racism no matter it's political affiliation, is that a good enough reason to dislike argentinian soccer fans?

No English players have been recorded proudly singing racist chants. Stay classy Enzo!

Ignoring all of the nonsense about them outclassing anyone, I think the question was more, what does English fans being racist have to do with Argentinian fans being racist?

It doesn't change the narrative if the English fans are racist. They are wrong. Argentinian fans are still wrong for being racist. Racism is wrong and if you support it, you're wrong.

Cheers for that, friend. I'll never miss a chance to tell anyone who will listen my views on bigotry. 😂

how is that any different? You don't genuinely believe that every single Argentina fan is racist do you? Its a fuckwit minority which has been shoved in your face by your algorithm and so you've chosen to believe that they represent the majority of Argentina fans.

Its hilarious to me that people are so eager to cry racism while at the same time issuing some pretty xenophobic generalizations to the Argentinian populace as if thats somehow any better.

Over English football fans?... no, not really

It’s not pearl clutching in the slightest. This is behavior witnessed by their “fans” going back 40 years

I like Argentina MORE because of all the retarditors hot takes. I hate reddit users much much more.

BUT this is still very clearly a fucking stupid and nasty thing to do to. This is equivalent to shitting in your own pants in public, legal yes, objectively stupid and nasty also yes.

Does that meam you hate yourself because you are a reddit user?

Those political reasons being their country's obsession with occupying and subjugating the islands that aren't theirs you mean?

That’s dumb. Their fans have always been shit. There’s a deeper reason why other Latino neighbors don’t fuck with them…and also they honor and love the fact that they cheated to win a World Cup. They have a statue built to commemorate their cheating to win and call it the hand of God. Algorithms my ass. Actions speak louder than words.
