Gabriela Moreira said the press cannot be “a vehicle for any kind of prejudice”.
Last week Gabriela Moreira, a Brazilian ESPN presenter, was interviewing a Palmeiras fan on live television.
The interviewee, Felipe, 25, was being interviewed ahead of the team's game against Sao Paulo in front of the Palestra Italia stadium.
When asked what he thought his team's chances were, he replied that he expected them to "beat the fags".
Whereupon Moreira pulled this face...
...and said to him: "Boy, I don't know if you will win – but no to homophobia."
She continued: "How old are you? 25? Please...let's try to...modernize this thought."
And then she got back to interviewing him about the team – but at the interview she said she wanted to "reinforce" her message: "no to homophobia".
