Eh, why? I was under the impression that this is because PSG owners agreed to a very stupid contract and Mbappé is holding them to it.

Here's a good article by the Athletic about it (paywalled though.)

Short version, fifteen players (mostly from Barcelona) protested against unprofessional treatment from Vilda and his coaching staff, and insufficient resources and backing from the federation. They requested not to be called up to the national team. Federation supported Vilda fully but later offered a compromise on certain issues, which is why some of the fifteen later returned for the World Cup. However, Spain are still missing key players who are continuing the boycott, most notably Mapi León.

I'm inclined to to believe the players on this, you don't have fifteen players refuse to play for their national team (with public support from another three, including Alexia Putellas) without having some serious problems.

Reminder that the Spanish football federation are a bunch of cunts (especially Rubiales) who would rather save face than support their players, and that Jorge Vilda is a useless, disgusting fuckwit who only got his job because of nepotism.

Genuine question, not really related to this case: is the OK signal usually associated with racism in the US? My friends and I just use it to sign okay, I've literally never heard of this other meaning.

Title is a little bit confusing tbh.
