Definitely overblown, but definitely overlooking the full context of the situation. Rodrygo got racially abused, which has been the hot topic of football, especially since he plays along side Vinicius, so people will focus on that more. Dont get me wrong, under no circumstances does Rodrygo deserve to get racial abused, however, he made himself out to be a target to the Argentine racists considering he was being completely insensitive towards the Argentina fans that were experiencing police brutality in the stands.

Not saying it justifies racism, because it doesnt, however that was the reason he was targeted. Rodrygo was being a complete idiot in his remarks towards Messi and co.

Rodrygo isn't the first player to be racially abused by Argentina fans.

I never said he was. He got majority of the racial remarks compared to Endrick, Jesus, and Gabriel.

He put a target in his back for racists people to attack him because of what he said.

Both actions don’t make a right nor do they justify either actions. This isn’t a black or what situation, it’s clearly grey.
