A video published by journalist Milton Neves, 71, has given rise to talk and led the communicator to cancel. That’s because he suggests his followers look at Swiss player Alisha Lehmann’s physical attributes while celebrating a goal. Thus, it has been attacked by netizens and by the athlete’s own boyfriend, the Brazilian player Douglas Luiz.
“You’re old, years in football and you post a video that doesn’t respect women’s football and not even the player herself who is my girlfriend. Brazilian and who currently defends Aston Villa.
In the short video, the player celebrates a goal by turning her back. And that’s when the caption says: “Without rewinding the video, what was her shirt number?”. Milton Neves even urged his fans: “Watch and give your opinion”.
Neves’ name was among the most talked about topics this Tuesday morning (27). “Aren’t you ashamed?” asked a follower. “This type of video contributes a lot to women’s football. Congratulations!”, joked another. But there were also those who defended the publication. “We’re living in times when you have to ask if you’re allowed to tell a joke.” Even with the negative repercussion, the journalist did not comment further or delete the controversial post.
