Is it even racist if it's false?
What Marotta said about South American players, even though South American is not a race, can be interpreted as being racist, as he's grouped a whole lot of people into being uncontrollable party goers based on where they come from, South America.

If we don't want to use the word racist, then it's definitely discrimination.

If you're offended by being called a party goer... it's not clearly offensive for everyone. I bet someone like Vidal with more important things to think about is not gonna lose sleep about it
Saying all South American footballers are party goers is another way of saying they're all immature mindless children, or, it could at the very least be easily interpreted in that way.

It wasn't a simple word between mates, it was a statement to the media.

Added to that he allegedly said Juve needs to find a way to better "control" Vidal.

Now that's pretty nasty if true.
