Although a series of measures have been taken to eradicate macho attitudes in soccer, there are some who simply do not learn. Nicolás Castillo again faces a controversy after said macho against the U after falling to the UC in the university classic.
The América striker, who is always trying to make noise while recovering from the thrombosis that took him off the courts earlier this year, released a horrible statement on his Instagram account.
Hours after the Crusaders’ 3-0 against the Blues in San Carlos de Apoquindo, Castillo published a story with a phrase that earned the repudiation of several fans in the country.

“You are going to cry“, the forward began pointing out, and later finished off with a”They are the mothers of the lion“. This qualification has been tried to take out of Chilean soccer for being a direct offense against the women of the country.
Annoying U fans
Las Bulla, a feminist group of fans of the U and part of the gender commission of the Assembly of Blue Fans (AHA), reacted with annoyance to Castillo’s statements.
“As an organization, we want to repudiate this type of message, which does not contribute anything to the transformations that both football, and society as a whole owe to women. Trying to insult others by calling them “mothers” or using any other feminine simile such as “nun” or “fox” is nothing more than the expression of patriarchy, of the idea that the feminine is inferior“, they explained to RedGol.
“We could not disagree more with the fact that the word “mother” is a source of ridicule, on the contrary, in a country where daddy hearts abound, mothers play a role of tremendous courage, what is it like to take care of their children and on many occasions while working and organizing“they added.
Carolina Rubilar, a member of the organization, spoke with RedGol and discussed the situation. “My mother made me a fan of the U and that for me is always a source of pride, the same happens with several of my companions. I wish all the sports commentators who are so harsh, when they emphatically condemn violence from the fans, would come out to condemn this type of message as well, because there are no classics without violence as long as there is gender violence. And for that we continue to organize as Las Bulla and as feminist fans in all soccer clubs in Chile“.
