“Live racism”, “hateful images”… are some of the reactions in the French media this Wednesday to the racist and insulting chant of several Argentine fans broadcast live last night on an Argentine television channel.
During a connection of the sports channel T&C, a reporter is in the street with a group of young fans dressed in the albiceleste shirt who sing a song that makes fun of the African origins of some French players and launches especially offensive intentions against the main French star, Kylian
Mbappé.

harsh criticism
At this moment, the reporter reacts and exclaims “no, no, no, censored.” The public radio France Info begins its information with the phrase “live racism”, while RMC Sport considers that they are “hateful images”.
L’Equipe does not qualify the facts, but specifies that TyC has not apologized for these images, which have circulated widely on social networks.
