Following Messi's lead, Milei bids to separate stadium and state

Argentine President Javier Milei has decided not to attend the final match in New Jersey, drawing a parallel to soccer star Lionel Messi's approach of keeping sports separate from politics. The article explores Milei's rationale, emphasizing his belief in reducing state involvement in sports events. By skipping the final, Milei aims to signal a policy shift towards less government interference in athletic affairs, aligning with his broader libertarian agenda. The move is seen as a symbolic gesture to distance the state from stadium activities, reflecting a trend of depoliticizing sports in Argentina.
