Kick It Out: Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Rodrigo Bentancur has been charged by the Football Association (FA) for using a racial slur in reference to his teammate, Son Heung-min.
The incident, which occurred during a television interview in Bentancur's native Uruguay in June, has drawn significant attention and criticism.
During the interview, Bentancur was asked by the presenter if he could provide a Tottenham shirt. In response, Bentancur replied, "Sonny's? It could be Sonny's cousin too, as they all look the same." The comment, directed at South Korean international Son Heung-min, was widely condemned for perpetuating racial stereotypes about East Asians.
