A racist chant from Argentine fans against the French team, the current world champion, slipped into a live transmission from Qatar of an Argentine television channel, which interrupted the show when the journalist realized the content of the letter.
“No, no. Censored,” the journalist is heard saying as he walks away from the group of fans, in a video that has been replicated on the networks with strong criticism.
The chant alludes to the African origins of some of the French players and contains homophobic slurs.
Argentina maintains a strong rivalry with France after that team eliminated it in the round of 16 of the 2018 World Cup in Russiain a match in which Les Bleus won 4-3.
