Argentina Sports Official Fired After Calling for Messi Apology Over Racist Chant

Julio Garro's dismissal follows backlash against Argentina's national team for a controversial song targeting French players.

Enzo Fernández and teammates sang a racially offensive chant after winning Copa América, prompting widespread criticism.
Fernández apologized, but calls for Messi and AFA president Claudio Tapia to apologize led to Garro's firing.
Argentina's president stated no government could dictate actions or comments of the national team or its citizens.
French Football Federation filed a complaint with FIFA, which is investigating the incident.
Former France captain Hugo Lloris condemned the chant, calling it an attack on French people.
