Pro Football Hall of Famer Shannon Sharpe isn't shocked by the Argentina fan controversy that erupted after Argentina's 3-2 World Cup win over Egypt on Tuesday. Egypt coach Hossam Hassan was booked for making soccer's anti-racism gesture during the match.
On Wednesday, Sharpe commented about an alleged racist remark made toward social media streamer IShowSpeed (Darren Watkins Jr.) during the match.

Shannon Sharpe named two well-known Nazi figures to back up his point.
During the match, in which Egypt led 2-0 before Lionel Messi and Argentina came back to win 3-2, Hassan crossed his arms to form an "X" to inform officials about racial abuse toward his team. Instead of stopping play to investigate, referee Francois Letexier gave Hassan a yellow card. The decision drew criticism online.
Hossam Hassan was upset about how the referee handled the match, including an Egyptian goal that got overturned after video review.
Argentina will play Switzerland in the quarterfinals on Sunday. It is trying to defend its World Cup title from four years ago.
