Nowadays, social networks have become a space for debate on issues that previously did not come to light so easily. A video with an inappropriate joke can go viral and generate controversy in a matter of seconds. This is the case of what happened in an amateur championship that would take place in Córdoba and which has been going around the web in the last few hours. This is a referee who wanted to be funny and did nothing but expose the fact sexism that surrounds the world of football.

The first video was published on TikTok, on an account that then decided to delete it. There you see the referee, whose identity is unknown, who is about to make the toss with the captains of each team to find out who serves and who chooses the goal. As usual, a coin is usually tossed after players have chosen between “heads or tails”, or even between two colors or flags. But this time the referee in question gave a choice between “ugly girl or cute boy”awakening the uncomfortable or complicit smile of his interlocutors.

In this first video, one of the boys participating in the draw replies “I don’t like either of them”, amidst accusations. “I think FIFA coins are not like that, but since I’m not a referee, it’s better not to give an opinion,” says the comment of one of the publications that republished the video on Twitter.

The second video began circulating on the same social network a few hours later, and the same referee was seen but in a different match, this time at night, asking the same question to the captains. “Well, guys. You already know me,” he began. And then he asked: “I dedicate it to a friend of mine, do you choose, mina fea or trava cute?“.

Beyond the logical repudiation generated by the old-fashioned discriminatory “joke” that the referee made viral, other comments were in the same retrograde tune: “They closed INADI. Ball to everyone”, writes one.

It is believed that the match is part of an amateur championship being played in the Río Cuarto area, in the south of the province of Córdoba, and the name of the referee in question is not yet known nor whether he has received any sanctions for an unpleasant episode. .
