Gaëtane Thiney wanted to react after being the subject of a sexist comment from consultant Daniel Bravo.
« I have the impression she was talking about lingerie… “. This comment from Daniel Bravo, consultant on beIN SPORTS, during the match of
Ligue 1 opposing Paris FC to Olympique de Marseille last weekend (2-2) generated a lively controversy. If the former French international has since apologized, his temporary suspension from the air reflects the impact of his slip-up.
An impact that surprised Gaëtane Thiney. The ex-footballer of the French team and the PFC continues to proclaim her desire to defend women, but she also believes that Bravo should not be written off because of a “bad joke”. According to Gaëtane Thiney, the consultant’s comments are “ reprehensible but not unforgivable ».
« I think that when we work in the media, we are the echo of a society and we must be exemplary “, explained the person concerned to AFP, adding that iul ” need to add a little nuance ». « I spent 25 years at the top level, I had one of the longest careers, and I made less headlines than a story where I was sitting in a stand and someone made a bad joke at the wrong time… »
“It’s not normal and I don’t condone it, but I think it makes too much noise”
« I know Daniel well, I have no problem with him. He apologized immediately. I was in the stand so I didn’t even hear. I sent him a message this morning. If I defend her, people will say that it’s not right because I have to represent women, but I will defend women, always« .
And the ex-Blue midfielder concludes : “It’s not good what he did, it’s not good what he said, it’s not good for future generations to talk like that, of course, but let’s stop talking. In summary, it’s not normal and I don’t condone it, but I think it makes too much noise. »
