The Argentine club Deportivo Ristra angered the country’s football community, after selecting an influencer with no professional experience in its starting lineup in a first division match.
The club chose a YouTube content creator, called Sprin, to participate in a match against league leader Velez Sarsfield last Monday, before he was substituted after 78 seconds without touching the ball.
About 15 million people follow Sprin on his social media channels, and Riestra’s tweet on the “X” platform (formerly Twitter), announcing the presence of Sprin in the squad, achieved about 3.4 million views, compared to only a few thousand for the regular match, and criticized football figures. Football in Argentina club severely.
