Reply to comment by AbiTheSpeedLemon in Gunmen left a threatening message Thursday for Argentine soccer superstar Lionel Messi and opened fire at a supermarket owned by his in-laws in Argentina’s third-largest city, police said. by dragon8811

I'm confused by their message. Are they implying they also work for a drug trafficker and believe Messi has ties to Javkin who they say is a drug trafficker?

And why are they mad at Messi?

But why are they angry at Messi? What Argentinian would be angry at him?

Well, they are angry with Messi, just not Lionel Messi, but his brother. Who is a drug addict and has connections with Newells's hooligans and drug cartel leaders in Rosario

Crazy thing is, I've been conditioned at this point to just read the comments first because theres ALWAYS a correction/context posted in there somewhere. I dont even read the actual articles most of the time.

Rosario is a hub for drug trafficking and “bands” of narcos. His wife’s family own a chain of supermarkets and apparently have been refusing to pay “protection” money.

There is a rumour that Messi might end up his career at newel's, the team where he first started playing football before moving to Barcelona. These guys most likely support Rosario central, the other team from messi's hometown

There's clearly an aspect we are missing. Maybe Messi traffics drugs or is involved in some illegal activities. If Messi has fucked some big player out of a lot of money in some way then is starts to make sense.

Hi there mr. failedreadingcomprehension. I did not accuse Messi of trafficing drugs. I said there is clearly context missing. Since the threatening message involved drugs I did suppose that if the missing connection was drug related it would make sense.
