The 2026 World Cup ended<\/a> two weeks ago, but it still carries some harsh feelings for veteran radio host and comedian Rickey Smiley, particularly due to the controversial behavior of fans supporting Argentina.<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n
\n

On the episode of The Rickey Smiley Morning Show<\/em> that aired after Spain emerged victorious over Argentina 1-0 in the final, Smiley shared how he witnessed fans of Argentina subject his son Malik as he was working during the tournament. He confessed that it left him very troubled.<\/p>\n

\u201cI saw some racism in real time,\u201d Smiley said to his co-host Da Brat in studio. \u201cI literally drove off crying. I had tears in my eyes.\u201d He detailed how Argentina supporters interacted with Malik and \u201ctalked to him like he was less than a human being\u201d as they left the stadium after a game in the tournament.<\/p>\n

In spite of that, Smiley said that Malik \u201cwas trying to be accommodating to them where he works.\u201d Things got so heated that as Smiley saw one fan repeately size Malik up as if to physically attack him, he stepped in. \u201cI said, \u2018I\u2019m his dad. I\u2019m his dad,’\u201d he said. \u201cAnd then all of a sudden your ass can\u2019t speak English now.\u201d<\/p>\n

Smiley said the experience left him distraught, noting how Malik has worked hard to make this a career. \u201cYou can treat me like trash,\u201d he said. \u201cBut to see somebody treat your son like that\u2026 man, that thing made me cry. I cried all the way to the airport.\u201d<\/p>\n

The veteran comedian said that the incident led him to research the history of anti-Blackness. \u201cI didn\u2019t know that the racism existed in the country of Argentina. Had no idea,\u201d Smiley said. \u201cIt\u2019s crazy. It\u2019s real deep.\u201d<\/p>\n

Smiley\u2019s account adds to the burden of evidence against fans of Argentina, who have undergone immense scrutiny
for other incidents of racial abuse toward fans. The popular streamer iShowSpeed detailed an encounter with an
Argentina supporter that escalated quickly, causing FIFA to respond with an investigation.<\/a><\/p>\n
