Colombian soccer player Edwin Cardona has addressed the racist gesture he made during a recent game against the South Korean team, insisting he meant no disrespect. In a video posted on the Colombian national team’s Twitter account, Cardona apologized for his actions during the game last Friday in South Korea, during which he pulled his face back to make slant eyes, typically an insult of Asians. South Korean captain Ki Sung-Yueng called it “racist behavior” and “absolutely unacceptable.”
