💨 Abstract

Argentine football club Deportivo Riestra caused controversy by fielding an influencer, Ivan Buhajeruk, in a top-flight game against Velez Sarsfield, only to substitute him after 50 seconds. Buhajeruk, who has no professional football experience, was signed by Riestra for promotional purposes. The move was heavily criticized as disrespectful and a disgrace to the sport.
