Ainhoa ​​López, Uni Girona player, spoke to SPORT to explain what happened in Bembibre, and how they reacted to such an unpleasant episode: “At that time we didn’t realize it. I have been conscious with the video that has emerged. Her attitude was sexist and disgusting. Es intolerable. If I had found out what was happening, I would have stopped the game and would not have played again until they had expelled him from the pavilion. Sport should be a safe space for everyone and it cannot be tolerated. All the players condemn it and it makes me sad that attitudes like this continue to exist, and it is a sign that there is still a lot to change. It’s a constant fight, and I hope that attitudes like this are eradicated.”
