Francesca Costa no longer tolerates sexist choirs: the protest

Despite himself, Francesca she is at the center of attention and certainly not for reasons she likes: sexist insults, gratuitous insults and vulgar allusions abound even today in the stadiums. And she knows the extent of the phenomenon, which has already polluted several exemplary performances of the Romanist talent, ex Inter.

On social networks, on which it is active but certainly not ubiquitous, Zaniolo's mother has raised a topic that is discussed if not covertly and in a rather marginal way, thanks to the growing attention towards the players of the women's national team and the commitment of the captain, Sara Gama. Precisely because of its awareness-raising work, the topic entered the media agenda and touched public opinion. And last but not least the speech made before the President of the Republic, Sergio Mattarella, identified its crude and daily cruelty.

There It costs, recipient of unrepeatable offenses, in its own way it has decided to bring to everyone's attention a secondary theme, compared to that of discrimination. And it also makes a comparison: "I see sexist insults to the same extent as racial ones".

"Some fans send me the stories live on private mail Instagram – explained to Radio Capital -, they tag me and I public them because I want to denounce this thing. I see sexist insults to the same extent as racist insults and territorial discrimination ".

"It's mostly adult men who are at the stadium – Francesca continued to explain -, but those who write to me are 14-15 years old and these teenagers write me the worst things. I'm a mom, and it worries me that such an attitude could be used by them in the future against the girlfriend or against the wife or any female character with whom they will have to deal with when they grow up ".

"We must not think that these insults, even in stadiums, are only teasing. Many tell me that there have always been choirs towards Totti's wife, Materazzi's mother or the referee's wife. It is not right to continue to say the same things today, in 2019 ", the message and the bitter consideration of the It costs.
