Gaming News “I want your family to die” FIFA/EA FC star commentator reveals messages of incredible violence from certain fans of the game. Human stupidity knows no limits.
Who has never raged while playing a video game? Whether with friends or alone, there is always a moment when your nerves can give out. FIFA players are not spared from the rule. The famous FIFA commentator Hervé Mathoux knows very well that outbursts of anger sometimes go (far) over the limit.
Hervé Matoux shocked by messages from some fans
Hervé Mathoux has been the face of football on Canal+ for years and that too French commentator of FIFA match between 2008 and 2023. With so many years under his belt, he is aware that football fans can sometimes get carried away… In fact, you’ve already heard: “Did he really think he was going to deceive the goalkeeper at that distance?” or “What was that ? A pass ? A shot?” You can hear these pre-recorded sentences on FIFA as Hervé Matoux comments on your game.
Some players are not a fan of these comments and make it clear by submitting them offensive messages on social networks addressed directly to Hervé Mathoux. News that sometimes crosses the line. On the show With Jordan From C8 on April 10, the French journalist was able to speak about the violence of the words he may have received.
I think they (FIFA players, editor’s note) are convinced that I’m watching their game on the screen. I often received death threats because I made fun of them because I missed a shot. There is zero intelligence. I realized that for many people, and perhaps for the younger generation, insults are not very serious. I received terrible insults: “I want your family to die,” “I want you to die.” -Herve Mathoux
Non-public insults: can Hervé Matoux claim compensation?
One thing is certain: insults like these should have no place. However, since they are conducted in the context of a private conversation, they are hardly or not penalized by the law. A non-public insult is punishable by a fine of $38, which has not had a deterrent effect on players so far. Even though he retired from football after the release of FIFA 23, the Canal Football Club presenter will still have left an unforgettable impression on the minds of football fans.
After his place became vacant, Bein Sport duo Benjamin Da Silva and Omar Da Fonseca were chosen as his successors. Commentators requested by players for several years. The duo, known for their complementarity, supports the gaming revolution is no longer called FIFA, but now EA Sports FC.
