Lamine Yamal, demonic creation? The hoax dividing social media
Can a 16-year-old footballer be the product of a diabolical pact? A Latin American preacher has claimed that Lamine Yamal is a "demonic creation". The claim, spread on social media, has sparked a wave of reactions ranging from skepticism to biting humor. No one, however, has provided any evidence.
The preacher, whose identity has spread along with the accusation, linked the origins of the Barcelona and Spain player to alleged satanic symbols. It doesn't take much digging to find tattoos or gestures that, according to the theory, would prove the malign influence. Yet no video, photo or document has backed up the claim. Requests for "proof" have been repeated ad nauseam.
Beyond the absurdity, the debate reveals how certain circles interpret sporting success through conspiratorial or religious lenses. This is not the first time a footballer has been accused of something similar; the difference is that now, with social media, the spread is instant. Most people respond with jokes about his appearance or references to how far-fetched the argument is.
In the end, the only certainty is that the player keeps scoring goals while preachers keep racking up clicks. The devil, if he exists, must be confused: he doesn't know whether to take credit for his dribbles or blame for his hairstyles.
