During the broadcast of the match in which Sports La Serena defeated Colo Colo at the Monumental Stadium, a comment by Claudio Borghi raised a lot of dust. But it was not something that “Bichi” said about the dawn crisis, but because when he saw that one of the line assistants in the meeting was a woman, he pointed out that “I like to see women refereed in football. They are also beautiful”.
A comment that generated several reactions, none more public than that of ESPN journalist Grace Lazcano, who tweeted that Borghi’s saying in the CDF was “unnecessary.”
The message was quickly reproduced on the social network and even reached the ears of Borghi, who stopped in the middle of the transmission to comment on what was happening, after apparently receiving a direct communication from Lazcano.
“I just got a message from Grace, a former colleague who is working at a sister house”Borghi began. “He tells me to correct my sayings about beautiful women. I understood that women liked to be told to be beautiful, so if you want me to tell you that she is ugly, I can say so”.
“It seems unnecessary to me, that is, women are aware of everything we say … and in the broadcast we also said that we like it, it makes us happy, that they are directing in the First Division, which they have achieved thanks to their effort and abilities “he continued. “But Grace, I don’t think it is necessary to say that a woman is ugly. It was a compliment from a man who has been raised by women and who respects them very much.”
Even, jokingly, the DT pointed out that “How do you conquer it now? If you can’t call anyone pretty anymore?”
A few years ago…
To add fuel to the fire, there were even those who replicated an old message from the commentator, who a few years ago praised the “pint” of the Spanish player Jesús Navas.
“I do not see anything bad”
Although Lazcano’s comment was supported by several men and women, a couple of sports journalists downplayed what happened, such as Veronica Bianchi of the CDF and Romina Martinez DirecTV.
“It was not an attack”
Finally, it was Grace Lazcano herself who tried to close the controversy with a clarification.
“I believe that from the language we can all add in gender equality and value the work of women only from the professional sphere”he noted on Twitter. “It is not an attack, only an invitation to work on that, especially from communications”.
