This is getting ridiculous lol. Benzema is an Algerian Muslim, of course he is going to support Palestine but what does it have to do with his achievements on the field? He had an amazing season and deserved that ballon d’Or whether he supports Palestine or Israel.
The Ballon d’Or thing is insignificant. Accusing Benzema of having connections with Muslim Brotherhood is a much more serious accusation. And to say that he’ll withdraw the accusation if he tweets xyz thing I want just shows you the current situation in France. It is despicable from this guy. That he is a minister just makes the situation even more ridiculous.
It has nothing to do with the ballon d’or or his football ability at all. Not sure why you think that
I was responding to OP who brought up the BdO thing. My comment literally downplays the BdO thing.
As for OP, they are most likely conflating it with the statements made by Valerie Boyer who said Benzema’s BdO should be stripped.
Didn’t mean to respond to you. Actually thought i was responding the other guy
