The Directv presenter also referred to the aforementioned episode on networks, after she was invited to give information about the preparation of the Peruvian National Team for the match against Colombia for the South American Qualifiers, which will be played this Thursday.

Due to the alliance that Win Sports has with Directv, it is common to see journalists from the latter collaborating for the sports channel in Colombia, especially in this type of event.
Camila Zapata, who on Twitter is also defined as “host, soccer commentator and court reporter”, appeared on the program this June 1st talking about statistics and more information related to the duel and the present of the two selected.
However, many viewers and social media users considered that the attitude of the panelists of the program did not match the professionalism that their colleague was showing in your report:

Even in another moment of the journalist’s intervention, she was interrupted by Juan Felipe Cadavid to comment on what she was saying, and Daniel Pérez took the opportunity to launch a comment out of context: “Take off your mask”. This is how it looks in this video:
“Here in Peru, little was said about the absence of James. The group is united, strong ”, @zapccamila, journalist in Lima#SaqueLargoWIN pic.twitter.com/IJ0MzCgEbF

Although there were few fragments of the program that the channel uploaded to its social networks, ComuTricolor took up other fragments, in which it assured that there were more comments in the same sense.
Everything seemed on the air like a kind of uncomfortable game for the journalist, since the panelists of ‘Long Serve’ they insisted that she take off her mask to see her face, although she said she had police nearby and could have problems.
This portal also assured that the dialogue did not focus on the sports information provided by Camila Zapata, but rather focused on what their social media accounts were like.
Such was the annoyance of the viewers that the journalist Daniel Pérez became a trend among those who criticized his attitude, although he wanted to downplay it:
You always want to generate controversy out of nowhere, thanks and greetings
– Daniel Pérez (@dperezdeportes) June 2, 2021
Minutes later, and in the same vein, he wrote another trill, which then erased. There he said to those who criticized him:
“Speaking without knowing the context of things is very easy. It would be good if before judging they asked about the format of the program and the trust ”.
That motivated the reporter’s response on the same social network, in which she denied such a relationship of trust and confirmed the discomfort caused by the attitude of his colleagues.
In addition, he made it clear that he should receive an apology for this, but stressed that whenever these types of situations associated with “machismo” arise, they tend to normalize, especially in work environments where traditionally there are more men who demand hard work. of women to position themselves there.
This was the journalist’s message, directly quoting the message that her colleague deleted:
Women who make our way into male-dominated spaces work intensely. The road is hard. Colleagues are unapologetic when they make machismo-related mistakes. They normalize it. Yesterday we had no confidence. I write so that more colleagues do not go through the same thing. https://t.co/LU5zlzqr63

Hours later, during this Wednesday’s broadcast, Daniel Pérez apologized to his colleague.
The trill of the Peruvian communicator became popular and some journalist colleagues supported her, while some Colombians offered her apologies and others reproached the attitude of the panelists eliminated from ‘Saque Largo’:
Here are some of them:
Thanks, Camila. It is necessary to eradicate attitudes that remain in the professional context and that have nothing to do with the format.
The question is simple, would they do it with a man? If the answer is no, to rethink it. Enough of normalizing macho behaviors in any environment.

I just saw an absolutely impeccable Peruvian sports journalist in her report, a pity that for some the face is worth more than the information.
Assess women for their preparation, very difficult?

Not only do we have to have our pants on properly, but also remove the fear of being singled out as “exaggerated” for saying how we feel in certain situations.
A while ago we stopped being porcelains. What is in the head is worth more than what is seen on a screen.

This is Camila, as women it is not easy to make our way into sports journalism and it IS NOT FAIR for them to judge our work based on how we see ourselves. THIS CANNOT BE NORMALIZED. https://t.co/sxLX69ktTB

How great … and how well said everything!
Incredible that we still have to continue defending ourselves against macho, uncomfortable and confident behavior on the part of colleagues, fans, etc.
The fight does not seem to end and will continue for years as long as the same media feed these practices. https://t.co/shEgbAnytO

Total. These gentlemen do not represent us and are an insult to Colombian journalism. As a student of social communication and journalism, these srs will never be an example for me or maybe well, an example to never be like them.

What a shame, as a viewer I felt someone else’s shame, but these men are like that, and partly liars.

Camila, on behalf of all the people of Colombia, a thousand apologies. True football fans do not see Win Sports, basically because it does not have professional journalists, as you could see with Mr. Daniel Pérez as an example. Fraternal greetings to the Peruvian people.
– Çhristian Muñoz (@DJCHR) June 2, 2021
@dperezdeportes See, at least an apology should give, it was a total lack of respect, first with the issue of the mask that bordered on harassment and second for interrupting the information that the colleague gave which I did not understand anything. The format does not work for that

A Colombian journalist has also mentioned that Daniel Pérez is violent and no colleague has publicly rejected these acts. Sports journalism is full of bullies and violent men who protect each other without any consequence. This act is also violent https://t.co/O2pxpTJYRX

Sports journalists shouldn’t put up with so much male partner. Soccer continues to be a violent space where women’s work and experience is invalidated.@WinSportsTV complicit silence before the stupid #DanielPerezBulador https://t.co/xHMMpCXBae

#saquelargowin What a lack of respect for the correspondent in Peru on the part of that Mr. Perez and Bobazo luis … ????????????
