They are called “Trends” and did not exist in Fernando Niembro’s most active years as a journalist, conducting television and radio cycles. Much less at the beginning of his career, more than half a century ago. But for some time Niembro has usually been a fad, sometimes for some inappropriate comment, of those who make noise in the audience and bounce.
It involves going to Twitter, identifying Niembro’s name among the trends, “clicking” and seeing the video referred to, this time during the match between San Lorenzo and Arsenal, on the 3rd of the Liga Profesional de Fútbol, For the broadcast of ESPN Premium, the paid service offered by the US-based sports signal.
While those of Boedo and those of Viaducto gave life to a fun match, Niembro had the idea of intervening to criticize the use of the VAR. Not to the VAR itself, but to those who use it from the offices that Alfa has set up on the Ezeiza property. Niembro took pains to clarify the difference in the concept of him. However, a few seconds later, did not show the same care in words when he made a comparison that earned him a strong repudiation in that new field of media justice, social networks.

“Guys VAR, don’t fall in love, please … Make the game play fast, the game was clear, finish it there in Ezeiza … I don’t know if you’re bored, if you want to participate, what do I know, the comedy it’s clear, stop it like this … “, began the commentator.
But the total disapproval came with the end of his strange editorial, falling into a field bordering on misogyny: “Attention, I am a deadly defender of the VAR, the VAR is necessary in Argentine football. The problem is to believe that she is a 17-year-old girl“.
In a matter of seconds, the gap between what he said and someone who posted it on the net, Niembro began to be criticized on the net for the misfortune of his comment.
The broadcast of the match continued as if nothing had happened, giving Niembro’s expression a pious silence, something that Twitter is never willing to grant.
It is not the first time
It happened recently, even during a match: Niembro talked about the classic measurements of a woman, citing the work of the Colombian sculptor Fernando Botero.
“Simeone is about to become champion. He tells you: ‘I give you possession, I don’t care, I have another way, another way'”, said the reporter in the middle of a duel between Palmeiras and Defense and Justice.
And he continued: “It’s an aesthetic equation, you like it or you don’t like it. Are they like Botero’s fat women, or Fellini’s fat women, yes? You could say from an aesthetic point of view ‘I don’t like it. this sculpture ‘. Why? Because it doesn’t have the classic measurements of a woman. But what Botero does is art, it’s really art, and it’s the same thing. “
