Many Black Americans Rooted Against Argentina at the World Cup — Not for Spain
Columnist Etan Thomas argues that many Black Americans were not cheering for Spain during the World Cup final, but rather rooting against Argentina — driven by the country's history of racism, political silence from its players, and failure to address racist incidents in Argentine football. Thomas frames the World Cup as a moment when fans watch not just the scoreboard but also who speaks up and who stays silent on social issues. He notes both Spain and Argentina carry complicated colonial histories.
