SON racism controversy raises Tottenham official issue with Bentancur report

SON racism issue calls for Tottenham investigation over Bentancur report

A new variable has emerged in an atmosphere where Son Heung-min (Tottenham) racism is buried as it is. An international anti-discrimination organization officially raised the issue after receiving several reports.

“Kick it out,” which fights for the withdrawal of discrimination in the sports world, said on the 20th (Korea Standard Time), “We have received a significant number of reports on Rodrigo Bentancur’s comments about Son Heung-min, his Tottenham teammate. The report has already been delivered to the club and the relevant authorities.”

British public broadcaster BBC also reported on this. 토토사이트 and BBC reported that the anti-discrimination charity Kick It Out said it had received a significant number of complaints about Bentancur’s racist slur on teammate Son Heung-min.

Kick It Out said: ‘We acknowledge Bentancur has admitted wrongdoing.

“However, this is an issue that has a significant impact on East Asia and the wider community. We will continue to work to address this wide range of issues next season. Report it if you see or hear it,” he said, stressing that he would never let the issue of racism slide.

Tottenham’s Uruguayan midfielder Rodrigo Bentancur made racist remarks on his own TV show on Saturday. He told the host to save Son’s uniform that they (Orients) look the same, so they wouldn’t know even if they brought their cousins. Bentancur apologized on social media saying it was a bad joke. BBC, Guardian, Reuters, ESPN and other foreign media reported it in unison. BBC called it a racist curse.

Tottenham have done nothing since the incident.

This is why fans shouted so loudly. Tottenham continuously posted content on its website and SNS account. The performance of its players at Euro 2024 and major schedules of the 2024-2025 Premier League were disclosed. However, these posts have turned into online battlegrounds for fans. There were conflicting opinions between those who demanded the elimination of racism and Bentancourt’s apology.

Paul O’Keefe, an agent known to be well-versed in Tottenham’s internal news, pointed out, “Even if the club intervenes, we will not necessarily inform it outside.”

Meanwhile, Professor Seo Kyung-deok of Sungshin Women’s University defined it as obvious racism, saying, “This is a statement that Asian faces, including Son Heung-min, all look similar, and the media mainly used to disparage Asians in Europe and South America.”

E-mail calls for tough punishment for Bentancur

Professor Seo said, “This is a remark that blasphemes not only Son Heung-min but also the entire Asian community. As a result, I immediately sent a complaint to the EPL Secretariat and all EPL clubs including Tottenham.”

In an e-mail, he called for strong punishment for Bentancur. At the same time, he called for a commitment to prevent a recurrence.

Model Hye-bak acted ahead of Professor Seo.

He directly commented on Bentancourt’s SNS. Hye-bak politely protested, saying, “After watching your interview on racism, I got a negative image of you. Such generalization is harmful and rude. Even dismissing it as just a joke was inappropriate. If you want to sincerely apologize, apologize politely and sincerely. I hope you will learn from this incident and don’t make the same mistake again.”
