Kim Kardashian found herself in the midst of controversy when her eight-year-old son, Saint, had the rare opportunity to walk out as Lionel Messi's mascot during Inter Miami's match against LA Galaxy.
Sharing the moment on social media, Kardashian expressed pride in her son's experience, but the joy was overshadowed by criticism regarding the fairness of the opportunity. Social media erupted with accusations that Kardashian's influence and wealth had deprived a less fortunate child of the chance to accompany Messi onto the field. Many condemned what they saw as the perpetuation of privilege, questioning whether Saint truly deserved the honor solely due to his affluent background.

Critics highlighted the inherent disparities in opportunities, suggesting that wealth could indeed secure experiences that should be accessible to all children, regardless of financial status. Some went as far as insinuating that Kardashian may have paid for the opportunity, further fueling the debate on the ethics of privilege and access.
However, amidst the backlash, defenders of Saint emerged, emphasizing his genuine passion for soccer and asserting his right to pursue his dreams, irrespective of his family's wealth. Supporters argued that Saint's dedication to the sport made him just as deserving as any other child, regardless of his privileged upbringing.
Kardashian's prior acknowledgment of Saint's love for soccer, labeling herself a 'soccer mom' and showcasing his soccer-themed birthday party, provided context to Saint's enthusiasm for the sport. His admiration for players like Neymar and Messi was evident, further solidifying his genuine interest in the game.
