Libertad de Expresión
Libertad de Expresión
Por esto yo estoy a favor de que se permita insultar a alguien por expresar su
opinión, porque al fin al cabo es algo que no se puede controlar, y quienes se
quejan también están ejerciendo su derecho a la libertad de expresión, pero
muchísimo menos testimonios que además de ser totalmente coherentes no
quisieron ofender a nadie. Quitarle el nombre a un estadio o que enfrente
consecuencias legales me parecería una violacion de los derechos humanos.
Ahora bien, considerando lo que dijo Alfonso Pérez, creo que tiene razón. La idea
de que "el que más genera más gana" tiene todo el sentido, no podemos
comparar fútbol femenino y masculino, que gane el que más genera y ya. Sin
embargo, debemos recordar que expresar nuestras opiniones en público siempre
conlleva riesgos, ya que habrá personas que discrepan y te critiquen y es
incontrolable.
On October 2, 2023, an interview was published in El Mundo with the headline
"Alfonso Pérez: 'I would make Guardiola and the women of the national team
kiss the Spanish flag.'" The interview proceeded without issues until, near the
end, he was asked:¨– "You, who feel so strongly about the national team, how
do you view everything that has happened with the women's team?" To which he
replied, "I believe that women's and men's football can't be equated at all
because it all depends on the income you generate and the media impact."
Subsequently, this former footballer made the statements that appear in the
headline. Quickly, the media began to stir controversy with insults and criticism
towards him. A few days later, the Getafe stadium, which was named "Coliseum
Alfonso Pérez" in recognition of his contributions to the team, changed its name
due to the controversy.
After reading about these events and reflecting on them, I had some questions.
Do we truly have the right to express our opinions? Do these people genuinely
support freedom of speech? Freedom of speech is defined as "the right of an
individual or a group to express their opinions and ideas without fear of
retaliation, censorship, or subsequent sanctions." In my view, regardless of what
Alfonso Pérez said, it seems that freedom of speech is not always upheld in the
media. However, would it not be hypocritical to prohibit people from complaining
or expressing their disagreement?
Now, considering what Alfonso Pérez said, I believe he is right. The notion that
"those who generate more income should earn more" makes perfect sense.
Women's and men's football can't be compared, the one that generates more
should earn more. However, we must remember that expressing our opinions in
public always carries risks, as there will be individuals who disagree and criticise,
and We haven’t got control of it.
