Athie was also a singer. He performed the Mexican national anthem during a friendly match between the Mexico and Argentina national teams. According to the Spanish-language site Infobae, Athie only recently spoke with fans via Zoom and his last Instagram post showed him vacationing in Chapultepec, Mexico City. The caption was a quote from Nelson Mandela reading, “To be free is not merely to cast off one’s chains, but to live in a way that respects and enhances the freedom of others.” His posts on Instagram and Twitter have now become a venue for tributes from fans.
