Champion of Argentina: “Desclasados”, the unusual criticism of a public TV journalist to the players that has generated repudiation on the net

When it seemed that the crack had disappeared at least for a while in the country thanks to the historic consecration of the team selected for the World Cup in Qatar and the players are revered and treated as idols for the conquest against France, a unusual criticism from a journalist of public TV has aroused repudiation on social networks.

In a state reporting program it was discussed whether the Argentine team led by Lionel Scaloni would or would not go to the Casa Rosada as part of the title festivities.

“Here the analysis is different, they are players we ask to compete in the top elite, in the most important clubs in the world, and they end up being what I said before, and sorry for what I’m about to say, Maybe it’s the most time embarrassing because right now they are national and popular idols, but the vast majority of professional soccer players are out of class-know-two“, he launched, stressing that last word as if separating it into syllables.

It was journalist Nicolás Fiorentino who surprised even his panelmates with this question.

And he continued: “They are people who lose the sense of belonging, not in a spiritual matter, but in the sense of depoliticization. You have rare exceptions: Lisandro Martínez made very precise criticisms of the Macri government at the time and some gestures also of this government”.

That criticism amid popular fervor and adoration for the team that won the third World Cup in history with Argentina ignited a wave of questions on social media.

Within minutes, hundreds of comments targeted the reporter for criticizing the team.
