Canada's Moise Bombito had racist messages directed at him after he made a tackle on Lionel Messi during a Copa América loss.
Canadian soccer player Moise Bombito had racist messages directed at him on social media after he made a tackle on Lionel Messi during a 2-0 Copa América loss to Argentina on Thursday. The Canadian National Team issued a statement on social media late Thursday night about the messages without mentioning Bombito by name.
' Bombito, a 24-year-old from Montreal who plays for the Colorado Rapids in MLS, made an Instagram story post that didn't reference anything specifically but said, 'My beautiful Canada. No room for that bs.' Bombito caught Messi while attempting a tackle in the 82nd minute after his pass was intercepted by Lautaro Martinez. Messi went down, clearly in pain, in the penalty box after Canada goalkeeper Maxime Crepeau saved an ensuing shot from Martinez.
