Canada Soccer says it is deeply disturbed after one of its men’s national team players was targeted by racist comments online after Thursday’s Copa America opener.
“Canada Soccer is aware and deeply disturbed by racist comments made online and directed at one of our men’s national team players following tonight’s match,” the statement says.
“We are in communication with Concacaf and Conmebal about this matter.”
The statement was released hours after Canada lost 2-0 to Argentina in the tournament opener in Atlanta.
