Patrick Vieira did not wish to answer the questions of the parliamentary commission of inquiry. A deplorable attitude according to Daniel Riolo.
On Tuesday, the report of the parliamentary commission relating to the dysfunctions of sports federations in France was released. This includes the September 13, 2023 hearing of Patrick Vieira, in particular his position on racism in football. Sensitive subject on which the current coach of the Racing Club de Strasbourg refused to share his experience.
An attitude that Daniel Riolo vigorously criticizes. “That’s not very smart. When you can express an idea, no matter in front of whom, you must express it, especially if you have something to defend and interesting to say. It’s absurd. Just because something didn’t work once doesn’t mean you won’t try it again, or don’t do it again. I hate this kind of silent resignation, this ‘rotten politics’. After a while, something always happens. You have to be patient, even if it can be desperate sometimes”explained the sports journalist, Thursday evening, in “L’After Foot” on RMC.
“It can’t be racism because the author of the tweet is an Arab”

” He there is no improvement. We can wear T-shirts against racism or against any kind of violence, that’s still politics. This is what I condemn and this is why I am against this type of commission, it is politics. It’s – excuse me for the term – bla-bla »declared Patrick Vieira during his hearing.
