the coach of Goiás, Guto Ferreira, was the target of prejudiced speeches during a broadcast by TV Brasil Central (TBC), a broadcaster in Goiânia, on the last 15th.
At the time, commentators of a sports program that covered the classic between the team led by Guto and Atlético-GO, for the Goiano Championship, ridiculed and mocked the coach’s physical appearance. “Guys, we have a microphone here that calls lapel. In Guto, you can’t put a lapel on it, no. It doesn’t have a neck, it doesn’t have a divider. You need to take care of it”said the commentator Lucas Nogueira during transmission.
while the presenter Thaís Freitas, laughed at the statement, Jean Lopes, another participant in the program, questioned whether the coach was “eating a lot of mush”.
In an interview with a journalist from TV Brasil Central, on Sunday (22), during the match between Goiás and Iporá, Guto Ferreira criticized the commentators’ speeches. “The attitude of the ‘Brasil Central’ team, in the person of Lucas, endorsed by Thais [Freitas] and for Jean, I think it was unfortunate and dangerous. For me, there’s no problem. I’m a ‘made head’ guy. But they have to be responsible for what they say and the way they express themselves.”said the coach.
“Brasil Central reaches many, many spectators in the state and in Brazil. They are children who are seeing, finding it funny and endorsing, tomorrow, doing this same type of situation that is called bullying. I have the head to endure such humiliation. Does a boy have it? Everyone knows what bullying causes.”he added.
In a statement, Goiás – Guto’s club – repudiated the fat-phobic lines made by TBC commentators. “It is unacceptable that, in the middle of 2023, cases like this still happen, of people approving and finding humor in prejudiced offenses in relation to the physical condition of their fellow man”said the club that competes in Serie A of the Brazilian Championship.
Faced with the negative repercussions of the case, on the same day, commentator Lucas Nogueira published a video on social networks apologizing to Guto for his remarks. “I know I made a mistake, I made a comment that sounded prejudiced, but at this point I am here to apologize to all of you. And in advance, I promise this won’t go away. repeat”, stated Lucas.
This Monday (23), Guto Ferreira was invited to participate in the program “TBC Esportes”, on TV Brasil Central, and also received an apology from the channel and the commentators involved in the case. “On behalf of TV Brasil Central, we are all gathered here to apologize and say that TV Brasil Central does not condone any type of comment, any type of offense to human dignity. We strive for respect, for dialogue with people”said the presenter Thais Freitas.
