Kylian Mbappé responds to racist remarks from Paraguayan senator Celeste Amarilla:
“You are a despicable woman and unworthy of your position.
You do not represent Paraguay, that country which has sweated passion and honor throughout the competition. Through your recklessness and your brazen racism, the entire world has already forgotten the journey and the historic effort that your players accomplished during this World Cup, making way for an incompetent woman who gives the worst possible image of her country.
I will never allow people like her the freedom to spread their hatred and racism across the world.”
Club Statement
The Club is aware of racist remarks made on social media about one of our players.
We are appalled by the comments and condemn them in the strongest possible terms. No individual should be subjected to racist abuse, whether online, in person or in any other setting.
Racism must be called out, condemned and eradicated.
We will report such matters through the appropriate channels and will work with the relevant authorities, the Rugby Football League and social media platforms to ensure they are investigated and dealt with properly.
Wigan Warriors will continue to stand against racism and all forms of discrimination.
We remain committed to using our voice and platforms to promote inclusion, respect and equality, and to ensure our Club and our sport are places where everyone feels they belong.
Madame Celeste Amarilla,
Vous êtes une femme méprisable et indigne de sa fonction.
Vous ne représentez pas le Paraguay, ce pays qui a transpiré la passion et l’honneur tout au long de la compétition. Par votre inconscience et votre racisme décomplexé, le monde entier a déjà oublié le parcours et l’effort historique que vos joueurs ont réalisés durant cette coupe du monde pour laisser place à une dame incompétente donnant la pire image possible de son pays.
Je ne laisserai jamais aux gens comme elle, la liberté de laisser propager leur haine et leur racisme à travers le monde.
FIFA president saying live on camera that he suffered with Argetina last night is the most shocking thing I've ever heard... Keep lying to yourselves that the 2022 world.cup wasn't rigged.
"Tonight I suffered with Argentina..."
He immediately then catches himself and then adds: "...but I'm neutral."
This is the FIFA President.
Classic quick backtrack after nearly admitting he wanted Argentina to win.
What a shameless useless biased mofo.
Ronaldo is about to face Spain for the 4th time in 6 World Cups: 2006, 2010, 2018, 2026
He has also faced Brazil in 2010, Germany in 2014, and England in 2006.
Meanwhile Messi has played 6 World Cups and still hasn’t faced Spain, England, Brazil, or Italy once.
But we’re supposed to pretend the paths are the same?
✍️ Wigan Warriors are delighted to announce that Harry Smith has signed a new four-year contract extension, committing his future to the Club until the end of the 2030 season. ⬇️
