Why haven’t Barcelona condemned Griezmann and Dembele for their actions?

Another day, another crisis for Joan Laporta to deal with at Barcelona. Only he isn’t dealing with this one.

For a president that holds great stock in the ‘mes que un club’ tag line, he’s doing a great job of remaining tight-lipped on the whole affair.

Antoine Griezmann and Ousmane Dembele’s mocking of Asian employees back in 2019, in a video that has only recently surfaced, has been rightly condemned, and in any other line of work you wouldn’t be surprised to find it being a sackable offence.

Of course, Barca daren’t do that for fear of losing out on a pretty penny which they need to help balance the books.
