Benito SDR, a well-known streamer for River, launched a harsh criticism against Claudio "Chiqui" Tapia and the power that, according to him, dominates Argentine football. The streamer spoke about complicity, silence, and the fear that exists among players and executiveswhen it comes to confronting the AFA president.
First, Benito targeted figures from the Argentina National Team such as Lionel Messi and Rodrigo De Paul for their silence regarding the state of Argentine football. "Disgusting, disgusting, I'm going to say it clearly because they play dumb, because they're the only ones who could say something and have real influence, and they're the ones who play dumb the most. All in exchange for what, because what is going to change for them. Is anyone going to say anything to them? Are they going to lose anything from all they've already won?", he fired.
In that sense, Benito pointed to the lack of voices willing to question the system: "At the national team level, there's little to question, but it is true that they are precisely the ones who could say something. Obviously, also the club executives, most of whom vote in favor".

"Many times, they put all the points in a single vote. So if you're against something, you're against everything. If you're in favor of something, you're in favor of everything. They should split the votes", he added.
After mentioning some cases of people sanctioned for speaking out against Tapia, the streamer alluded to the apology from Andrés Fassi, president of Talleres and one of the few executives who is openly against the AFA boss, so as not to be harmed in his fight at the bottom of the table. He even compared it to the case of Passarella, who did not bow to Grondona and condemned River to relegation a year later.

Meanwhile, Benito summed up his criticism with a central idea: Tapia's power conditions everyone. "No one wants to go alone, but it must be understood that this football helps no one. Because it brings everyone down, also economically".
Finally, he targeted the arguments that AFA uses to justify the 30-team tournament: "Do you know what angers me the most? When they put a microphone in front of them and they say: 'with 30 teams there are more professionals and it's easier to sell abroad'. They mention the Champions League, but it has nothing to do with it. If that were the case, make it 50 teams. They take you for a fool. People who watch football notice".
