Headlines: Enzo Fernández and Argentina face backlash for discriminatory chant (Soccer 07/17)

The Morning Footy crew discuss the scenes that Enzo Fernández broadcast live via social media from the Argentinian bus after their Copa America victory. The team were singing a chant containing racist and homophobic lyrics aimed at the French National Team. The French Football Federation has announced plans to file a legal complaint over the incident and Chelsea issued a statement condemning the incident after several French Chelsea players made public comments criticizing the scene. Fernández issued an apology also on social media that said in part, "Those words do not reflect my beliefs or my character. I stand against discrimination in all forms and apologize for getting caught up in the euphoria of our Copa America celebrations." The group discuss the ramifications and ugliness of it all.
