THE BIGGER PICTURE
Earlier this week, Fernandez and his Argentina teammates came under fire for their racist chants regarding the African heritage of multiple players in the French national team. After a lot of criticism, the 23-year-old issued an apology, however, the issue is still not over as the France Football Federation (FFF) has threatened legal action against the players in question.
