Daniel Bravo: Apology for Sexist Comment & Children’s Reaction

After Bein Sports, it’s the turn of the main party to explain. This Wednesday, Daniel Bravo spoke to L’Équipe, a few days after his sexist comment made live during the meeting between Paris FC and OM (2-2). “I have the impression that she was talking about lingerie,” said the consultant while the TV director of the part proposed a shot by Gaëtane Thiney.

After this problematic exit, the former French international was suspended by the Franco-Qatari channel. He finally broke his silence in the press. Bravo apologizes to the former player of the France team and “to women”. “I don’t recognize myself in what I said. My children tell me: But what came over you? We’ve never heard you say such a thing… These are words that I should not have said,” he assured.

“I tried to room her”

The former Paris Saint-Germain footballer says he knows Thiney from their joint stint at Canal +. He spoke with her to apologize. “I tried to room her. But it was a dirty joke, and I completely missed it,” Bravo continued.

“It hurts me to be judged on this unfortunate word that doesn’t correspond to me,” he continued. According to him, this “terrible error” will not prevent him from returning to commentary, although he understands his suspension of the antenna.
