The video which leaked on Twitter ~13 hours ago shows Antoine Griezmann and Ousmane Dembélé (whom we only hear the voice of but can see his legs) mocking what seem to be a bunch of technicians in their hotel room. The video is clearly old and, in a previous post, u/Lekaetos hinted at Barcelona's pre-season Japan tour, since Griezmann's haircut is not the one from the 2020 Euro. No mainstream French media has reported yet on the matter, I'll update this post if they do.Most of what Griezmann says is unintelligible but what we can clearly here in French is the following:
0:05-0:10 Dembélé saying: "All these ugly faces just [for us] to play PES, aren't you [Griezmann] ashamed."
"Toutes ces sales gueules, pour jouer à PES mon frère, t'as pas honte."
0:22 Dembélé laughing at the man he zooms on
0:28 Dembélé saying "Oh fuck, what a language"
"Putain la langue"
0:36 Dembélé saying "You're [supposed] to be developed as a country, aren't you?"
"Vous êtes en avance ou vous êtes pas en avance dans votre pays là ?"

Coming from Dembele, the supermodel and scholar of all languages.
Critical hit -200
That comment has injured him for 2 months.
Maybe it ended his career
Great. Another €100M+ asset Barcelona is stuck with forever
Time to play more PES
Genius tried to learn spanish by watching narcos
What a puta
Coming from Dembele, the best football player of all time. Record breaking injury speedruns.
Insert that Antonio Banderas meme
This post needs to blow the fuck up so it will reach the news. Racist scumbags should not get away with this so easily. Griezman fathers 3 children and he doesn't step in but instead laughs. Absolutely disgusting.
EDIT: It just got to the news
Absolutely disgusting behaviour
Yu-Gi-Oh cards gone
Yu-Gi-Uh-Oh.
Yu-Gi-Oh no! Oh no! Oh no no no no no!
holy shit completely forgot about that lmao he fucked
What's the joke? I just googled it up and it's an anime but what's the joke
Two weeks ago he agreed with Konami of becoming like an embassador of the game as he said he was a big fan of the anime
He is also one of the few pro players who plays PES instead of FIFA and isn't ashamed of that.
I tend to prefer PES to FIFA too. From the PS-one era. Especially the crazy Japanese commentary. "Keeeper fuuumble!!!" being one of my favourite expression.
Why would you be ashamed of playing the better game?
typical, enjoys consuming asian products but have zero respect for asians
Few weeks ago griezmann was unveiled as brand ambassador of Yu-Gi-Oh cards and since they're based in Japan after this video some actions would be taken
A white and a black footballer coming together to be racist against the asians. Progress
OptaJoe probably
They're a bunch a racists themselves. Fucking hypocrites. These are the people who kneel against 'racism'. Apparently they only considered racism against black people 'true racism'. They don't care about racism against Asians and other ethnicities.
Fucking hypocrites. Millionaires with their heads far up their ass. Shame on them.
Correct. And now you know. It’s a human condition that’s not related to any particular race.
To hate someone for their race makes as much sense as hating them for their gender. None.
But it’s very easy to see how we as humans can think of people from other cultures and classes as “others”, and have negative reactions to them. That will never, ever, ever end despite what the keyboard SJW’s desire.
Dembele really trying his hardest to be one of the most disliked footballers on the planet lol
Flop transfer, worse person
Spoiled little bitch who thinks he deserves a better contract
He's not even the best Dembele
He's not even in the top 3 Dembeles
Yes, Celtic's Karamoko Dembele is such a talent.
I'll take Mousa AND Moussa over this punk ass Dembele.
Even as an Arsenal fan, I will have to admit that Mousa Dembele was class at spurs. He was not part of the midfield. He was THE midfield.
Selling Dembele and not replacing him is the reason Fulham is where it’s at today
I mean, it’s no coincidence that they began their decline when they sold him in 2019, without signing a replacement, thus condemning them to a Winks/Sissoko double pivot the rest of the season.
it's a shame, i was a big fan of him when he still played for us, and wasn't as much offended as other people were when he was striking his way to Barca, but this just make me lose all respect i had left for him
Didn't he make the whole saga much worse by skipping training and shit?
He pretty much left Dortmund over night went to france and said he wasn't coming back iirc.
Oh man, Barcelona held all the cards and still overpaid. Excellent work by Dortmund on recognising how stupid Bartomeu's Barcelona were.
He also trashed Klopp’s house which he was living in at the time in Germany
Mate what, we need the story behind this
Pretended he skipped training, but actually skipped because he played fortnite all night.
Same, no longer following his career because of this, and it had been waning since he left dortmund. Football isn’t nearly as important as treating sentient individuals with kindness and respect.
Lol what the fuck is going with the French NT.
that's what happens when you have a bunch of record transfer fee divas together playing in the same team.
routine meltdown, it was very overdue tbh
And they take knee for eradicating racism before every game. Hahaha
Ousmane Dembele taking a knee is a health hazard by the way.
Isn't griezmann in a lot of anti racism ads too?
He's playing both sides so he always comes out on top
Racist when it's popular, anti-racist when it's popular. What a plastic!
Going to film 2 videos and release 1 of them to reveal whether he is racist or not
Griezmann joins the Blackface Boys 2
Dammit Mac
This after his blackface thing too LOL
That's what I've said every time. There's no point in doing something if the only reason you're doing it is PR.
I guess Dembelè was never racially abused
He has quite the track record of being a spoiled brat that doesnt reflect a lot before acting, so he could very well have been.
Which is why, as a person of colour, I never cared about these guys taking the knee. It is institutionalised, not a protest anymore. Just a meaningless prematch routine.
Isn't that why Zaha stopped doing it too?
if you're looking towards celebrities and corporations to lead the move toward a fairer society then you're delusional.
like putting all their logos in rainbow for a month? but only in western countries not in the Middle east because the gay folks there dont matter.
This is something I find comical in this area of sport. Footballers in the Europe are so upset when they get racially abused and will take a knee with their teammates. You have people like Stephen Howson all over YouTube with Rio Ferdinand, who is constantly moaning about abuse he gets and talking about ending racism and social media blackouts, this and that but Howson is a racist himself. Caught on camera.
Edited to add that Howson blocked me on Twitter and Instagram for asking if he was going to change his behavior and I don’t condone racism.

But you know, racism is only a black issue /s
But Seriously, wth is they thinking. They're in Japan, ofc they have technology
Putting down Japanese people to play a Japanese game, doesn't get more braindead than that.
in my country at least black people have been absolutely brutal to the asian people around here, to be honest. honestly with the way Israelis treat Palestinians im starting to come to this depressing realization that oppressed peoples will turn around and immediately oppress others.
You should learn about the history of Liberia and you’ll be convinced of that
People are racist against each other regardless of the races in themselves, gotta look at it through a sociopolitical lens rather than which race is which
People hate the village down the road for being down the road.
Nah. That's because they're all weird and nonces.
People hate the family that moved into the village because they are "outsiders"
This is the best take I've seen on here so far. As a black guy in America I've grown to realize that black people actually have a lot of the same negative stereotypes of black people as racist white people (not all but a whole lot). Seems to me everyone in a certain culture/society has the same implicit biases ingrained, and expelling them is just a matter of conscious acknowledgement of the issue and then a commitment to fix it.
This, so much this. Sadly, a lot of people are too lazy to do it. Not even malicious, just lazy.
Reminiscent of (ex-NBA player) Stephen Jackson leading the George Floyd protests, only to start spouting anti-Semitic bullshit.
I've been in Jamaica and the black people there have been brutally racist there when COVID happened. It still happened before but went to the next level after that
Yeah I've seen somewhat similar from online comments. Most prominent is when some nfl player posted some anti-semite shit and a lot of people were agreeing and saying stuff that will get you labelled a racist other way around. I have seen it enough times to conclude that it exists in every community/race/country.
