TO wanting to be generous, an unfortunate joke. If you want to think badly, yet another episode of sexism in football. During the press conference following the Brindisi-Novoli match, the sporting director of Brindisi, Emanuele Righiuttered a sentence that sparked controversy: «The last one who did this… four children: you see». The words were addressed to Caterina Cerinoresponsible for club communications. At that moment, the woman had approached to fix the microphone for him. After smiling, Righi added: “We’ll cut this one.” The full video, however, was published on the official Facebook page of Brindisi Football Club.
The episode, which occurred on Sunday 2 November at the end of the race valid for the Excellence championship, has been called an “unfortunate phrase”. No immediate apology followed the gaffemade even more inappropriate by the context: that same day, the representatives of Long live Victoriaan association committed to combating violence against women.
