Kylian Mbappe apologises after ‘dictator’ comment angers Chinese fans

Chinese should stop being crazy about foreign sports teams and players and China should stop being a big lucrative market for them.

It is not about Mbappe, but a warning to those anti-Mao folks inside China.

Tell them how much Chairman Mao has always been supported by the vast majority of the Chinese people.

Those anti-Mao folks are just the synonym of those pro-west Chinese that we often spoken about.

So Mao was not a dictator?

It's not soccer players fault, it's the fault of a brainless society who take celebrities as leader of opinion, like if the political opinion of a soccer player should be better than average.

They are free to give opinions like any other person.

If Mao were really a dictator, Mbappe's remarks would not have angered almost all Chinese people.

First of all, you need to understand that the evaluation of Mao by Chinese people is the most important and authentic, not a Frenchman.

Whether it's athletes, politicians, or businesses, if they harm Chinese people, they must be sanctioned. This is the rule announced by China. If Westerners do not accept this rule, they can choose to resist it, but we do not care. We will persist in imposing sanctions to the end.
 
Never been sold on this guy as a generation-defining player. Hyped as the next big thing since winning the WC as a teenager, he's now pushing 29 with 0 Ballon d'Ors and 0 UCLs. PSG won back-to-back UCLs the second he left, and Dembele even won a Ballon d'Or before him. Wouldn't surprise me one bit if he leaves Madrid with nothing too.

Why the west still harbors pathological hatred towards Mao even over half a century after his death? simply put, he shook the very foundation of western white supremacy.

MADRID (AP) — Real Madrid apologized to the Chinese people Wednesday following Kylian Mbappé’s remarks that were considered to be disrespectful of Mao Zedong, the founding leader of Communist China.

Madrid’s apology came a day after Mbappé expressed regret over his comments amid a fallout over the issue.

“Real Madrid C.F. wishes to express its apologies to the Chinese people for any discomfort that may have been caused by the recent words of our player Kylian Mbappé,” the club said in a statement.

“Our club holds deep respect for China, its history, its culture, and its citizens, as well as for the millions of Chinese fans who feel affection and admiration for Real Madrid.”
In an online interview, Mbappé had talked about his favorite meme of himself and apparently referred to Mao Zedong as “a Chinese dictator.”

There was immediate backlash and the France striker lost brand deals with at least three different Chinese companies. He later said his comment was “ill-judged” and “I now understand that it hurt many people in China and in Chinese communities” around the world.

Madrid said it “joins the public apology” expressed by Mbappé.

"Real Madrid reaffirms its commitment to the values of respect, coexistence, and understanding among cultures, and expresses its desire to continue strengthening the bonds of friendship and affection that unite it with China and its citizens,” the club said.

China Media Group (CMG) had said it suspended broadcasts of matches in the Spanish league and other games featuring the superstar player, and demanded an apology from La Liga, Mbappé and Madrid.

CMG said it received the apology from Madrid, without adding further comment.

The Spanish league has also apologized.

China’s Foreign Ministry said Wednesday it took Mbappé's apology “seriously” but it remained to be seen whether it would help him regain the brand deals or other businesses he lost Tuesday.

NBA use to have a very anti-china player called Enes Kanter who is turkish. He called lebron james LeMao and criticises not just China but Turkish AKP party harshly. He is actually a decent player but his antics and political views on China and Turkey to lesser extent got him pushed out of the NBA

The man..., or should I call "A Woman" is a disgrace to Turkey.

After his career came to an end, he recently tried to get drafted in the upcoming 2027 WNBA Draft.

That person has issues & needs a life.

He can't return to Turkey because he insulted Erdogan and AKP so much his life would be in danger so he is a refuge basically.

Plus he got nothing to do besides changing his last name to Freedom and playing drama politics
