Kylian was clearly wronged by everyone but he still apologized because he has no ego and refused to turn a lighthearted meme joke into a geopolitical fight.
If you think it’s about the money, think about how he refuses to promote gambling, junk foods, a €1 billion contract from Al-Hilal. He has never stayed quiet just because it was easier or safer
He also speaks his mind even when he can do what others do usually. On the Ceuta shirts he later explained he fully supported Ceuta but also wanted to acknowledge the migrants who suffered and wouldn’t rank one group’s pain above another.
He has repeatedly commented on politics and racism, urging votes against extremes in France and calling out racist abuse after a World Cup match. You can criticize his wording, his choices, or some of his stands, that’s on you. But he keeps speaking even when it brings criticism and zero benefit, and he apologized here instead of doubling down

看着姆巴佩道歉,我认出了二十多年前的自己。
那时我在国内,听到外国人批评中国,第一反应也是血往头上涌——哪怕他说的是事实。
后来在美国住久了,看着总统天天被骂独裁者,被做成表情包,国家也没塌。那股"涌",才一点点退掉。
退干净了回头看才明白:
那不是爱国,是从小没人允许我把"政权"和"自己"分开。骂它,就像骂到我身上。
这层皮,我蜕了好多年。
姆巴佩也有他的一层,这两天全世界都看见了:话是真话,照样得收回去。
他那层皮,叫中国市场。他掂了掂,选择留着。
你的那层，叫什么？蜕了吗?

🚨🇳🇱 Dutch journalist statement on his Ballon d'Or votes:
"Kylian Mbappé has written history, that's why he was first for me. Lamine Yamal was great these last few months, but in World Cup Rodri was more dominant.
The closer voting gets, the more the pressure rises, there are all sorts of approaches to influence journalists.
For example, I received an email from Harry Kane press team, asking if I was interested in an exclusive interview."

造谣能不能专业一点 @Romain_Molina?中 国官媒央视已经接受了姆巴佩的道歉,事情正 在平息,你还在编“经济利益”“背叛”这种假消 息赚流量。微博暂时禁言是因为被恶意举报 潮,不是永久封号。姆巴佩用自己母亲的公司 道歉,恰恰说明他是以个人身份真诚道歉,不 是公关稿。你这种落井下石的人才是真的恶心
Le communiqué de Mbappé fait par Interconnected Ventures (sa holding présidée par sa maman) n'a absolument pas calmé les tensions en Chine
Au contraire car cela a été perçu simplement comme quelques lignes de "panique" pour essayer de calmer tout le monde afin de préserver les intérêts économiques
Le fait que Mao Zedong ne soit pas cité à une seule reprise ne passe pas, comme le fait d'avoir parlé de "maladresse".
Vous pouvez lire énormément de messages parlant de "trahison" et les représailles vont continuer (ses comptes sur les réseaux sociaux chinois comme Weibo ne peuvent plus rien publier pour "violation des règles de la communauté")
Au Real Madrid, on ne comprend pas non plus que le communiqué ait été fait à travers sa holding et non avec le club (qui a probablement plus d'expérience pour gérer cela...)
If Harry Kane just didn’t acted humble and drop the “work hard in silence” gimmick he would have been respected at least. Bayern literally used Olise, a strong contender also to campaign for Harry Kane but he said it’s silence 🤣
🚨 JUST IN: Dutch journalist reveals he received an email for the Ballon d’Or:
“Harry Kane’s press team sent me a email, asking if I was interested in an exclusive interview.
But Kylian Mbappé has written history, that's why he was first for me. Lamine Yamal was great, but in World Cup Rodri was more dominant.”

God will punish that ViniZone admin. I watched the original video, and Mbappé never mentioned Mao Zedong’s name. He was referring to the dictator memes, yet this account added Mao’s picture and name to the quote.
These accounts barely post the good things Mbappé does. They only seem interested in setting him up and creating controversy around his name.
At this point, I wouldn’t be surprised if Roc Nation is behind some of these accounts and paying them to do this.
