David Datro Fofana has called out racism in football on social media, claiming that the fight against racial discrimination must be 'taken seriously by everyone involved in this sport'.
On Tuesday, his Chelsea team-mate Enzo Fernandez had posted a video online of himself and several of his Argentina team-mates singing a controversial song, which claimed that French players are 'from Angola' or have a 'Nigerian' mother and a 'Cameroonian' father.
Chelsea have subsequently addressed the video, 'condemning all forms of discriminatory behaviour as completely unacceptable', while fellow Blues player Wesley Fofana, called the video 'uninhibited racism'.
The video has prompted many from the world of football to speak out on racism, with David Datro Fofana, posting a picture of himself on his Instagram story, with the caption: 'The football that I like is multi-ethnic.
'Racism in all its forms should be condemned in the strongest possible terms,' Fofana wrote.
'These acts have no place in football or even anywhere else.
'This fight really needs to be taken seriously by everyone involved in this sport.'

Nonsense this fight against racism will not work, the only fight that will work perfectly is to be racist like them, they you money, call them pig, they your black , tell them they are pink, yellow, pinch, when we start to be racist like them, their children have low self-esteem, they start coming suside in numbers, then the fight against racism will be taking serious

It might be a Racist Post from Enzo but France players (not everyone though) are more racist than Enzo. You guys left and betrayed your own country while representing the other nation. Racism starts from the day you left your people behind

This is clear racism but people with low sense will argue. The only fact here is the racism the Argentine team is spreading. This team is very unruly and untidy. They lack professionalism and sportsmanship. The French players may look black or have a trace form Africa but they are not Africans. They are French. All of them were born and raised in France. France is the only country in Europe; perhaps in the world that has treated black people better so far. In every facet of France, black a man can be seen and in abundance. What does the Argentine team have to do with the French team? Why did they have to sind that nonsense on the day they won a predicted cup that 95% of the world knows; if it is not Brazil, then it is Argentina? We need to walk up brothers.
my brother did Enzo or Argentina team insulted the black who are playing for France no the Argentina are just trying to pass out an information to us that they should play for there father land,Incase you don't know how many white have ever play for Africa apart from north Africa

I don't see much Racism here. The only thing obvious here is that these black french players hate to be associated with Africa and that is pathetic

We are not ready for life otherwise keep crying racism in a land that's not urs. Why out of Asians, Middle East we experience racism the most? They're mostly in Asia developing it, they've learned n copied the westerners to help themselves for good. And we all over the place being entitled to special treatment in a land that's not urs. So they don't hv enough 16 year old white kid that is being over shadowed in his own land, why wouldn't they be racist to you. U think it's about talent, no one cares about that it's about reality, about their survival. We've been there enough, time for an exodus, come develop ur land like the Chinese, the middle east they're humans like us
