Kim Kardashian recently found herself at the center of controversy after paying a visit to the Real Madrid CF squad, sparking outrage among passionate fans of the team. The reality star took to Instagram to share several photos of her visit, where she posed alongside the players. However, the post quickly attracted negative comments from Real Madrid supporters, many blaming her for the team’s recent struggles.
Fan Reactions to Kardashian’s Visit
Angry fans flooded the comments section, with many accusing Kardashian of bringing bad luck to the team. One disgruntled user commented, “Real Madrid lost 2 games in a row after you visited them.” Another chimed in, “You visited then 10 players got injured,” while a third exclaimed, “She has cursed our team.” Others echoed similar sentiments, blaming her visit for the sudden surge in player injuries: “This is the reason that half of our players are injured.”
The backlash comes after Kardashian attended a football match between Real Madrid CF and Real Valladolid CF, sharing photos from the trip to Spain with her kids. In her Instagram post, she can be seen enjoying the game from the stands and posing with her children at their hotel. She captioned the post, “Madrid Soccer Mom Tour 2024,” marking her latest venture into the sports world.
This isn’t the first time Kardashian has been in the public eye for her philanthropic and public appearances. Before her trip to Spain, she visited the U.S. Department of Justice in Washington, D.C., where she met with pardon attorney Elizabeth Oyer. During the visit, Kardashian advocated for clemency for prisoners who may now be ready to reintegrate into society, sharing her support for criminal justice reform on her Instagram.
She also praised formerly incarcerated singer David Jassy, re-sharing one of his posts and writing, “David Jassy also spent 15 years inside San Quentin prison where I got to meet him and spend time with him learning about his music program and Ear Hustle podcast. Proud he is home and making music.”
While Kardashian’s efforts to make a difference in criminal justice are appreciated by many, her visit to Real Madrid has left some football fans feeling less than thrilled. Whether or not the team’s recent losses and injuries can be attributed to her visit remains a topic of debate, but one thing is certain—Kim Kardashian’s influence, both in sports and social activism, continues to make waves.
