Journalist Bárbara Coelho criticizes Neymar's comment about referee

Journalist Bárbara Coelho from Cazé TV condemned Neymar Jr.'s comment to referee Sávio Pereira Sampaio during the Santos vs Remo match on April 2. She labeled the phrase 'de chico' as sexist, linking it to derogatory references about menstruating women. Coelho suggested a deal for players to stop using such terms.

During the Santos vs Remo match in the Brazilian Championship on Thursday (April 2), Neymar Jr. told referee Sávio Pereira Sampaio that he was 'de chico'. The phrase sparked controversy after the game.

In a YouTube broadcast by Cazé TV, journalist Bárbara Coelho, formerly with Globo, reacted to the remark. "Chico vem de chiqueiro, de coisa nojenta. De como se a mulher, numa situação de ‘Chico’, ela não prestasse. Ela é uma expressão machista," she explained. Coelho noted that it refers to a woman menstruating, highlighting its derogatory nature.

The journalist stressed that such expressions have no place in football. "Todas as vezes que as pessoas têm que se dirigir a algo ruim no futebol, trazem uma mulher, trazem uma expressão pejorativa para mulheres," she said. She proposed a 'combinado': players stop using these terms, and commentators stop complaining.

Coelho ended weary of repeated debates but resolute. "O Sávio fez uma partida ruim porque ele é um homem que comete erros. Ele deve ser questionado pelo trabalho dele, não porque ele está dentro de um contexto pejorativo que envolve uma situação da mulher," she stated.
