for

good as you already heard

I am a sports journalist I dedicate myself

every day every day all

time to talk about success stories and

also talk about failure stories

every day I talk about a soccer player

a basketball player of a baseball boxer

of course it was just the series

world

american football players athletes

Olympic Games and every day reiterates the

history of success and failure but not

That was always what I wanted to do

I really wanted to dedicate myself to something else

and I know that suddenly in these forums it

It may come back as a bit tedious to ask

participation is like when in the

cruise the magician asks you to pass but

it’s very easy more they have to raise the

hand and I’m happy to see many

men also of men who are

here raise your hand those who wanted to be

professional athletes so little

just to the ground

well there are some ok several how many

women wanted to be athletes

professionals

12 ok now the sample is not very

representative because there are more women

but I think they understand the point at which

today and that has to do with the following

and I did not always want to be

sports journalist

I really wanted to be an athlete

professional and as a good commentator

sports or sports commentator I’m going

to say is that I injured my knee is

that you can not anymore or the truth is that

being half bad of the knee but

regardless of my talent my

capabilities

when I dreamed of being a journalist

forgiveness professional sportsman was something

more or less like that it was not a dream

extraordinary for me to not be me

which will tell the stories but be the

protagonist of this kind of stories

and this kind of images

especially in joint sports

clearly, reality was a little bit

of fiction no longer wins

but this was me about a few ago

15 years he played jamal they are not going to

confusing is a rare sport in

mexico but it will be more or less good

I imagined myself that way it did not appear in the photo

medias and I thought it was one more thing

good similar reiterated

you will excuse but then I started

to realize and

Being a professional athlete was not a

way for me and it was not a way to

me because we are talking about

professional athletes is to say that

they make a living doing sports

you think about the great period

of the great athletes in Mexico and

The vast majority are amateur athletes

and that’s a precision that we have to

understand the vast majority of our

ídolas now there

paola espinosa paola longoria paola

longoria is now more professional

but most had to dedicate themselves to

do two things at once but I in that

I did not understand it so the

great idols that I could follow then

are these gentlemen michael jordan scottie

pippen

out there is not some soccer player not

beckenbauer jürgen klinsmann

those were the idols that I could

aspire and why because it was made like this

how strange I was not going to be able to be

professional athlete in those branches

then while I was practicing sports

something like this happened

more or less like this he reiterated it was a

That’s the situation why I

crossed but I dreamed of that and

she lived

fortunately because I am a woman

deeply privileged and that’s something

that we also have to understand

I grew up in an environment where I was

pushed towards this kind of issues

that allowed me to do sports and more

later I was allowed to choose my

professional career thanks to a circle

very close to my family my dad and my

mom who are over there I thank you

that have come applause and my

trainers

the woman who made me play sports

besides my mom ingrid fonseca mi

first coach but out of that I

he lived a reality that was if this was

what I lived in the courtyard of the

school because I wanted to play soccer and

the net bored me playing spring was

very bad

then I heard that it was a

marimacha I want a rare chimdn

it is also a very special insult

lesbian machorra I do not understand why

It is an insult but good

we live in a world that

unfortunately it’s still that way and

today I still do not form part ii well

to good nowhere but why

what is so strange that a woman practices

sport and I started to realize that in

I was not really alone there

a lot of women who go through that

same reality because it is articulated

with the idea that women do not

sport do women do

exercise and when we exercise

suddenly we start to grow tits

the rule comes to us and then we have

to go to the beach in a bikini

there it is good that you kill yourself in the

gym your mind the climber that

also the worst machine in the world why

someone would want to do that seriously

to play with a ball

then I began to realize that no

I was alone

but I was a coward because I

I abandoned the athletes that you see

today they did not abandon and they deserve

a much better place and it has to do with

the next

Here are some antics that I know you can

be boring no cover of the

sports sections is starring

for women because we live in a world

in which the narrative of sports and

many other speeches but let’s

focus on sport is

starred by men and not

it’s only starring

men but when it is

starring women

that discourse is articulated in function of

men and I’ll explain myself with the

next video

she is daughter hand the video a

extraordinary footballer who is now

disputing the league mx that by the way

see the league I wanted to come please

abandon the dream of modeling by

football there is that scared a model less

one more footballer for seriously

it seems ridiculous to continue having explain

these things but we consume them with a

normality that is overwhelming and we continue

without understanding the strength of the speech

media and especially speech

sports media before we will see

the numbers photographs of women

within digital media

sports by 89 percent no

appear we do not appear we do not exist

we are not part of the narrative in a

5% women and sports and of course with a

puntito more woman without reference to

sport because because the means of

sports too i do not understand why

It is very interesting to think that

this is what they are their we do not understand and

there I will quote the wonderful tamara

of walking like a human being with genitals

different can memorize the names of

22 people who kick a ball call

to the weekly of the unusual through

many times a lot of sports to be

woman are some of the voice

I have received throughout my career

the daughter of figo because she is the daughter of

fixed has no name and

unfortunately the medium erased the

headline because they know that here’s a

very difficult question

the owner said figo’s daughter is already

regulatory field

I think we still have not reached

understand that more people consume these

media in the media of journalism

true this is a powerful earthquake message

and constant articulated by an industry

which is one of the most powerful in the world and

we consume it without question and

without questioning which look of the world we

already offers that seems to me something

terrifying why because I realize

that I did not really have idols

sports when I was growing

because they did not exist but because I did not

they presented them because mexico in the branch

feminine unlike men yes

won a world cup

what happens is that it is not official and the

won in 1971 in Mexico go to those who

next to the story and how are we going to

talk about the fixed daughter that is now

regulatory field

let me tell you that that also has

a small amount of illegality of

pedophilia but that is another issue that

others and stories and idols would exist if

we stop seeing the world with only one eye

and we saw it with two that we could

count because instead of building

we are constantly bridges

burning and we are minimizing to a

fundamental part of the society that

we are us and that has nothing

see me apologize or with females invited

to their terminologies that have me up

here

tweet to tweet to tweet

these are the stories that he gave me

I would like to see these gaps sainz won

with united states the world cup in

1999 United States has also not won the

world with men certainly not

they are going to go to the world

this young lady took off her shirt to

celebrate the stigma of a whore

promiscuous and endless names

some sponsors no longer wanted

being with her, others joined in

that narrative because you also have to

stop being afraid of being alone

because in reality we are not

we’re just not turning to see the

correct place

she enriches basilio who knows who

it is very few

she was the first woman in history in

light an Olympic cauldron and he did

at the Olympic Games of Mexico 1968

who told them the story so there’s

that understand the sport for many

women who do not have the privilege that

I have myself as an auto mechanism

knowledge of your body

they know how powerful it is in a country like

this one that a woman feels in power of

your body that knows what it is capable of

do with whoever understands that you can

running has a very very narrative

powerful that we are not understanding and

It is also a vehicle of independence

economic because if that woman does not have to

God where to go what will be able to

to be a professional athlete and

is going to make a living with this that is

a different way of making a living

with your body to what you have us

accustomed that women do not have

that making a living with our body is

a trojan horse

[Applause]

sport is a trojan horse

nothing else we have to notice what it is that

we’re going to put him in the belly and what’s

to happen when we’re going to break that piñata

fill the trojan horse with suman

other sports media and lend

attention to women’s speeches

practice sports for peace help

his daughters to play sports is a

wonderful mechanism

it has given me life has given me the

profession and today has given me the

possibility of being here

thank you very much

[Applause]
