The world other than me it seems! What is the song?

So the clip I originally saw only had him record the other players singing it, but this full version appears to show him joining in: 

The translation according to Twitter: 

"Listen, spread the word;
They play in France, but they are all from Angola;
How nice it is! They are going to run;
They are 'cometravas' like f**king Mbappé;
Their mom is Nigerian;
Their dad, Cameroonian.
But in the document ...Nationality: French".

The intention being to mock France's black players by telling them they aren't "really" French. 'Cometravas' apparently is a slur for someone who has sex with transgender people (Mbappe's former partner is trans).

At best , distasteful and ignorant, at worst it's openly racist. At the very least Enzo deserves a lengthy suspension from the club given Chelsea's proud historical connection to French and African players. 

As a black fan can’t say I am surprised especially from an Argentine.

He has black teammates from France how stupid can you be.

I defended him a lot in his thread what a disappointment.

How thick do you have to be to film yourself singing a highly racist and homophobic song and then broadcast it to the world? Disgraceful stuff.

Some footballers are extremely thick and stupid especially the young ones.

Money doesn’t suddenly change that.

Enzo just shared a video, to his personal Instagram, of his team mates singing a somewhat racist and homophobic chant about France (wtf) and Mbappe's transgender former partner.

A first big test of character for the new ownership. I sincerely hope he gets sacked. He deserves to be nowhere near this club or English football.

 

 

 

 

wow .. a disgrace and unbecoming. No matter how many campaigns you do with a bent knee.. by then its too late and only lip service. There cant be an excuse for this. really shameful.

I wouldn't go that far, it's easy to get carried away during celebrations. An apology is all that is needed.

Good thing he doesn't share a club squad with any black French national players. 

I think we're glossing over the important news here.. Mbappe was shagging a bloke? 

There's a lot of it about. France rugby fullback Melvyn Jaminet, on tour in South America, filmed himself, drunk, ranting against arabs, saying he'll head butt the first one he sees in the street. Posted it on his social media. Then deleted it and apologised. Sent straight home from the tour and suspended.

 

I'd suspend him and sell him if I was BlueCo ... can't have people like that around the place.

Knowing this mob they'd sell him to Strasbourg for 80m and buy him back in January for an amortised 80m

Totally understand that it’s easy to get carried away in celebrations however when this song has been called out before as racist it brings his judgement into question. 
It also brings the judgement of those around the team in general inti question.

Wasnt there reports of them signing this same song after the world cup win??

Once is a mistake, twice is deliberate.

Also what was the captain and the greatest footballer of all time doing on that bus... i think the coach and the staff should also be sacked along with the captain fi they endorse this culture.

Seems like Argentina have a problem. Enzo is not alone here. All the players seem to be singing along. Was Messi on this bus and joining in?  FIFA and the Asociación del Fútbol Argentino have to deal with this and take action quickly. Investigation and sincere apology to begin with.

Footballers are quite often very dumb and ignorant. Sad but true. Enzo is a moron.

Context. Look at the current president of Argentina. Look at the former president of the USA. Look at Boris and the former prime ministers in the UK. The world is filled with these ass clowns right now. It is hard to make sport and culture democratic and accountable when the “democracies” themselves are steaming piles of sh*t.

interesting to see how this one develops and what happens here.

It's a chant they've been doing since the world cup so I doubt anything will happen. Although the players/fans may see it as ill-harm, it's racial ignorance at its peak. They even poke fun of transgenders given Mbappe's past of dating one. Their failure of reading the room just screams immaturity and I hope Enzo realizes that. 

My wife is Argentine and from my experience I feel this is a cultural issue among the Mercosur region of South America.

I feel it is a cultural issue across the globe right now.

Sure, many of these lads will take the knee before games and may even perceive themselves as being non-racist and non-transphobic. It is just a song right?  

Enzo and many of these players probably feel they are just singing a song. A song to attack and wind up the opposition fans and players. In this context their football rivals in France. They need education for sure. They need to understand consequence. I am not sure that Enzo and the “lads” will realise anything on their own. We look to FIFA and the AFA and to Chelsea and blue.co. to take appropriate action here.

South American countries in general are very xenophobic to one another. Argentina in particular always have a sense of superiority because they are more European than others. (although they even make fun of their own people that are of British decent like MacAllister) Colorism is also deeply rooted in South America especially the Mercosur countries. It's a very cultural thing where even white people with a tan are called negrito. Their chant is very xenophobic with racial undertones and Enzo knew what he was doing was wrong because you can hear someone in the background saying "turn it off asshole". He needs to make a public apology, especially to his own Chelsea French teammates. 

France Federation are now making an official complaint of racism (even though they themselves need to look in the mirror for their country's treatment of Arabs). I anticipate the AFA getting a fine and will be barred from making such chant. Similar to Mexico and their PUTA chant during goal kicks. 

They should sell the little prat and sue him for damages and losses.

I really like the fact our midfield maestro is winning big things and with Messi on top of that. That culture is something he can bring with him to Chelsea. 

Enzo and Caicedo are my favorite players from the squad and I back them to do well. 

Really like both players spirit and leadership. 

I realize Enzo has never shown why we paid over 100m but I feel he will at some point. 

I get that in the spur of the moment, you’ll sing something you know you shouldnt sing - distasteful though as it is. 
For him to be a big enough idiot to actually share on IG is quite frankly worrying. Building our future around this thick bloke? No thanks

Whats the context of what happened? Can someone break it down?

Wes just posted this

Not going to end well 😣

Oh it's kicking off now. 

First sh*tshow for Maresca to deal with!

It's ultimately down to Enzo to mend the relationship with the Chelsea players and those offended, which I pray he does. The AFA may perceive it as banter given their cultural history but this isn't something that is socially accepted at all outside of South America. Enzo's complete lack of awareness and ignorance in posting such a video bewilders me considering the amount of French footballers we have at the club.

Initially, before the World Cup Mbappe made a comment that European football is far superior to South American football, which the Argentines took offence and created a chant which essentially translates you French aren't really European and are from Africa. This derogatory xenophobic insult is common in Argentina and they even insult other Argentines for their ancestry. 

 

Apparently the club are now investigating the clip.
