Javier Hernandez punished by Mexico Federation over sexist comments about women

Former Manchester United striker Javier Hernandez has been punished by the Mexican Federation over sexist comments about women. 

The Mexican striker released a video last week on social media where he made serious, controversial comments about women.

As a result, he has been fined and warned by the Federation.

The Mexican Federation says that Hernandez has made statements “promoting sexist stereotypes that are considered media violence and go against gender equality in sport.”

Chicharito has been criticised by President Claudia Sheinbaum, who is Mexico’s first female president.

She said: “Chicharito is a very good soccer [player] but when it comes to his opinion on women… he still has a lot to learn.”

What has Hernandez said about women

The Mexican said: “Women, you are failing. You are eradicating masculinity by making society hypersensitive.

“Embrace your feminine energy: nurturing, caring, receiving, multiplying, cleaning, maintaining the home, which is the most precious place for us men.

“Do not be afraid to be women, to allow yourselves to be led by a man who only wants to see you happy, because we do not know heaven without you. Holding yourselves responsible for your energy is also a way of loving you.

“Men, we are failing in the lack of commitment, putting our partners last, not keeping our word, and not prioritising habits to become admirable.

“I understand that we are afraid to speak and truly express what we feel because they are trying to eradicate masculinity, since in certain cases of the past, feminine energy was suppressed, but many of us are here wanting to love you, take care of you, respect you, and provide for you.

“But you women must learn to honour masculinity.”
