But is he right?

Facts not needed?

A football boss insists he didn’t mean to offend anyone when he described the women’s game as unviable and full of lesbian alcoholics.

The president of Colombian football team Deportes Tolima has apologised for describing women’s football as “a tremendous lesbian breeding ground.”

Gabriel Camargo, whose team won the Colombian Apertura title in 2018, also branded female players alcoholics and women’s football as a whole, economically unviable.

“I declare it wasn’t my intention to offend women footballers, let alone undermine their fundamental rights of equality, non-discrimination, dignity, honour and good name,” he wrote in a letter posted on the club’s social media accounts.

He retracted his previous comments and insisted that Deportes Tolima had always respected the personal rights of its female players.

Those comments brought a stinging rebuke from some notable women players, such as Yoreli Rincon, a midfielder with Atletico Huila, the Colombian women champions and Deportes Tolima’s traditional rivals. “President Camargo, don’t forget where your sons come from... A woman or do you want a woman footballer to iron clothes and bring you the club’s plates? Respect,” she wrote on Twitter.

The women’s football league in Colombia, consisting of 23 teams, was created in 2017, with the third season due to be played in the second half of 2019.
