Rodrigo Bentancur Suspended for Racist Remark During Interview

Tottenham midfielder Rodrigo Bentancur has been suspended for seven matches and fined £100,000 by the English Football Association for making a racist joke about his South Korean teammate Heung-min Son during an interview. The comment, which sparked outrage on social media, involved a derogatory comparison related to their appearances. Despite Bentancur’s public apology and Son’s efforts to diffuse the situation, the disciplinary committee deemed the remark as abusive and insulting. Bentancur will also undergo mandatory sensitivity training as part of his punishment.
