The French forward Allan Saint-Maximin, star of América, used his social media to report episodes of racism suffered by his three children in Mexico. The former Newcastle and Monaco player did not detail the incident, but local press reports suggest that the discriminatory acts may have occurred in the children's school environment.

In a strong statement on Instagram, the 28-year-old athlete stated that protecting his family is his absolute priority and that he will not be intimidated.

“The problem is not the color of the skin, but the color of people's thoughts,” wrote the forward, emphasizing that he will fight for his children to grow up in a world where they are respected and loved.

Saint-Maximin arrived in Mexico in August 2025 as one of the most high-profile signings in the league. The player made an appeal for dignity, lamenting having to deal with behaviors that “only seek to destroy and divide.” He reiterated that he wishes for his children a future free from these “absurd and senseless” behaviors.
