After only four successful passes, a post called “The Ventancourt Effect” is published. It’s been criticized as the wrong post at a sensitive time.
Tottenham Hotspur posted a photo of Rodrigo Bentancur on the club’s official Spanish account on Sept. 24, with the caption “Efecto Bentancur.” The post sparked outrage among South Korean fans. The post sparked outrage among Korean fans.
The reason for this was a recent mistake by Bentancur. Bentancur appeared on the Uruguayan TV program “Por la Camiseta” on the 15th and was asked by the host to wear a South Korean jersey. He wanted the jersey of Tottenham captain Son Heung-min. “Sonny?” he asked back.
“It could be Son’s cousin’s jersey. They all look the same,” Bentancur laughed. The hosts chimed in and laughed along with him. It’s a clear racist comment, implying that all Asians look alike.
The controversy spiraled out of control, and Bentancur took to social media to post an apology. “Sonny my brother! I apologize for what happened. 안전놀이터 It was a really bad joke. I love you so much and I want you to know that I would never disrespect or hurt you or anyone else! I love you brother,” he wrote, bowing his head.
Tottenham were slow to respond.
Bentancur apologized, but the club didn’t issue an official statement. It was a different approach than in the past. A Crystal Palace fan who shouted racist remarks at Son Heung-min was banned from the stadium for three years.
The Nottingham Forest fan who was involved in the Son racism incident last December was also fined and banned for three years. A Chelsea fan who made a racist gesture toward Son during a 2022 match against Tottenham was banned from the stadium indefinitely.
Tottenham released a statement on Tuesday saying, “We spoke to Bentancur and he admitted he made a mistake and apologized. He did not intend to say anything offensive on purpose.” It’s a disappointing response for a club with a Korean as captain.
Regardless of Bentancru”s apology and Son”s acceptance of the apology, it was reported that the English Football Association (FA) could impose disciplinary action. “Bentancur is facing possible disciplinary action from the FA for his discriminatory remarks that Son and Koreans all look the same,” The Times reported on Nov. 21. It doesn’t matter whether Son accepted his apology or not, according to the media.
After the news broke, Bentancru apologized again.
Apparently realizing the seriousness of the issue, he apologized in a post instead of a Story feature. “Regarding the reference to Son Heung-min in the interview, I spoke with him and we mutually understood, based on our deep friendship, that this was just an unfortunate misunderstanding,” he wrote.
“Everything has been clarified and resolved. If anyone was offended by my comments, I sincerely apologize. But to be clear, I was only referring to Son Heung-min and no one else, so I had no intention of insulting anyone directly or indirectly. I have great respect for all of them,” he added.
As expected, the comments section of the post became a battleground. Surprisingly, the comment that mocked the Asian outrage, “Bunch of cry baby’s in this world,” received the most likes. The next most supported comment was, “Lolo you already apologized. Idk what more these lot wanted.” The Korean fans also responded with a comment that read, “Bentancur already apologized. Idk what more these lot wanted.
Korean fans also weighed in, with one commenting, “This is ridiculous, you’ve been racist against Asians and never offended anyone else?” and another, “Now that you’re in trouble?”
Another fan wrote,
“He already apologized. He apologized. move on and shut up,” while others fired back with comments like, “Does that look like an apology to you? I never got an apology,” and “What an ignorant person who thinks this article is an apology.”
While the Korean and Uruguayan fans were at loggerheads, Tottenham took to social media with a post of their own. The post, which was only available in Spain, showed a picture of Bentancur.
Uruguay defeated Panama 3-1 in the first leg of their CONMEBOL Copa America Group C match on Thursday. Bentancur came on as a substitute in the 40th minute and played about 10 minutes of stoppage time. 바카라사이트 He attempted five passes, four of which were successful. Tottenham’s ‘uplifting’ post about the win was a testament to Bentancur’s effectiveness.
They wanted to praise Bentancur under the radar of Koreans and other Asians, but in the 21st century, that doesn’t work. It was quickly exposed.
