On the latest episode of the Urban Pitch Podcast, the crew discusses the fallout from Chicharito’s comments on social media, and the position of athletes as role models.
Javier “Chicharito” Hernandez has long been outspoken on social media, candidly sharing his reflections on everything from mental health to his overall career in general. But his transparency recently got him into hot water, as his comments on gender roles and norms received plenty of backlash, and led to a fine from the Mexican Football Federation.
We discuss his comments, the response, and footballers’ responsibilities as role models on the latest episode of the Urban Pitch Podcast, in addition to what Nike has been up to in LA, and that infamous Coldplay concert!
You can watch the entire podcast on YouTube, or listen to the audio on streaming services including Apple and Spotify.
