On TikTok, content creator ‘Ozilla_FC’ posted a video about an evolution of his Mason Greenwood gold card. The audio track that was added to it was completely unacceptable. His e-sports organization reacted accordingly.
Mason Greenwood was banned from training and playing for months due to rape allegations. However, in February 2023, the judiciary dropped the investigation against him. Meanwhile, the Englishman plays for Olympique Marseille – and recently had to take harsh criticism from his coach Roberto De Zerbi. However, this was due to his sporting performance.
But back to the allegations. Although the justice system has not convicted him, the striker has lost all respect of most football fans. However, apparently not of content creator ‘Ozilla_FC’. The Tik-Toker, who has a wide reach (1.9 million followers), posted a video on that platform celebrating his evolution of the gold card – which could certainly have been discussed further. However, the use of the soundtrack of the possible rape in his clip was completely unacceptable.
“It’s absolutely disturbing that he thought this was a clever idea”
X-User ‘Cam’ posted the video and tried to draw attention to the content creator’s mistake: “I understand that he’s in the game and people can use him. I wouldn’t have made this post if he had just used it. But he refers to Greenwood as the ‘most dangerous’ while playing the rape footage. It’s absolutely disturbing that he thought this was a clever idea.”
In any case, it was an idea that cost ‘Ozilla_FC’ dearly. The eSports organization Serious About FIFA (SAF) announced that it was ending its cooperation with the content creator with immediate effect. “We are committed to maintaining the standards that our community expects and deserves,” SAF said in a short statement, thanking the community that brought the incident to the attention of the British organization.
