The world of professional football often holds a mirror to the societal issues that plague our communities, including the persistent challenges of racism and discrimination. Recent incidents involving two players, Chelsea’s Enzo Fernández and Tottenham’s Rodrigo Bentancur, have brought these issues to the forefront, revealing how inconsistently football governing bodies handle allegations of racist behavior.

Enzo Maresca, the head coach of Chelsea Football Club, has come under fire for his decision to appoint Enzo Fernández as captain of the team just a month after the Argentine midfielder was involved in a racist video controversy. This decision has sparked criticism and raised questions about the club’s stance on issues of discrimination.
