“You were to kill as a child, you should end Ilaria”: the shock phrase of a football manager at a seventeen -year -old arbitrar

That the soccer of the Great is imbued with sexism and misogyny Unfortunately it is not new. Just attend the stands of a stadium in any game of the Serie A championship arbitration by a woman To realize it.

Insults with a sexual background, chopped sentences, comments on the body Which obviously never reach male colleagues are on the agenda.

Often you make the mistake of reducing everything to the fogue of the fan and to believe that where the stakes are not high, certain things do not happen. Basic sportInstead, unfortunately it is no less But indeed, just where the cameras are not on many times the worst episodes towards the girls occur.

Like the one that occurred during the Provincial Under 17 Student Championship race between Sangemini and Sporting Terni. According to what is read on the report, between the first and second half, Ernesto Galli, a manager of Sporting Terni He would enter the locker room of the Arbitra seventeen years old contesting his conduct and recording the dispute with a video from the mobile phone. Then, on the extinguished camera, he would say: “You were to kill as a child, you should end Ilaria.”

The reference is clearly a Ilaria Sulathe twenty -two year old student Killed to stabbed by the ex -boyfriend Mark Samson in Rome but residing in Terni.

After the gruesome phrase, the man would continue his disconcerting show, adding: “At this point he would be to take out a knife”.

Inevitable for him theexpulsion for “very serious sexist insults and various threats”, as reported in the official press release of the provincial delegation of the National Amateur League. However, a decision that did not keep him away from the pitch, where he tried to return in the second half, before being definitively removed from the safety that pushed him beyond the gate of the structure, where the insults did not end and were also enriched by the simulation of the abbey of a dog and from the invitation to parents present to rage also on the Arbitra. Guilty ofexpulsionaccording to him unjustified, of two players from his team.

A Of these, after seeing the red card, the shoes and jersey was delivered, threatening to launch them against the arbitration. But not only that, after having said more than wanting to remove the shorts, He had always addressed sexual allusions and obscene gestures.

For him, a 12 -day disqualification has arrived, while for the manager Galli there disqualification will last Until 31 December 2028 Ernesto Galli.

The club, which will also have to pay a fine of 500 euros, immediately distanced himself from the manager, condemning the incident. «Many of us were present with emotion and pain at the funeral of Ilaria Sula and also for this reason the incident strikes us a lot. Surely, I say it by personal and as president of Sporting Terni, we completely dissociate ourselves from certain sentences, said the president of the club, Maurizio Gambino, reiterating his trust in sports justice and in the federal prosecutor, called to shed light on the incident.

Asked by Ansa Umbria theLawyer Giuseppe Sforza, on behalf of Ilaria Sula’s family He stressed that “such phrases do not deserve any comment. They qualify for themselves, they are so serious ».

If commenting the incident can be superfluous, not stop to reflect on it, derubricating it to an imbalance of a single, it could be dangerous, especially if, as rightly it is, it sport is considered, together with family and school, an educational pillar Which should help boys and girls become aware adults and respectful of others.

A very similar episode to that of Terni, in fact, had happened last February 23 in Rome, when during the match between Achillea and Gialloverde Griffin A parent of a Griffin player had addressed sexist insults to the sixteen -year -old Arbitra, immortalized in a video uploaded on YouTube.

And to talk about how Tosta it was to be arbitration on the provincial camps had also been Maria Sole Ferrieri Caputiwho today directs meetings of Seria A, in an interview granted to Skytg24in which he had said he had been Victim of sexist insults by a manager when he was still a minor. «If I had to fall back today I would know how to act. But at 17 he is tough. You are alone, on a clay field, in the cold, without an assistant. After such episodes it is not strange to think of quitting ».
