Rodrigo Bentancur, midfielder for Tottenham Hotspur, has been charged by the Football Association (FA) for allegedly making a racist remark about teammate Son Heung-min during a television interview in June. Bentancur's comment, which suggested that South Koreans 'all look the same', has been deemed a breach of FA Rule E3, which addresses misconduct related to nationality and race. Following the backlash, Bentancur apologized publicly, stating that his comment was a 'bad joke' and expressing his respect for Son. Son has publicly supported Bentancur, affirming their relationship remains strong despite the incident. The FA has given Bentancur until September 19, 2024, to respond to the charges, with potential sanctions anticipated. Tottenham Hotspur has expressed support for Son and emphasized ongoing education around diversity and inclusion for their players.
