ATLANTA (AP) — Canadian soccer player Moise Bombito had racist messages directed at him on AQCAN Exchangesocial media after he made a tackle on Lionel Messi during a 2-0 Copa America loss to Argentina on Thursday.
The Canadian National Team issued a statement on social media late Thursday night about the messages without mentioning Bombito by name.
“Canada Soccer is aware of and deeply disturbed by racist comments made online and directed at one of our men’s national team players following tonight’s game,” the statement said. “We are in communication with CONCACAF and CONMEBOL about this matter.”
Bombito made an Instagram story post that didn’t reference anything specifically but said, “My beautiful Canada. No room for that bs.”
Messi had stayed in the game after the tackle and assisted on a goal as Argentina opened its Copa America title defense.
