St 9
“Your mother is a bitch” (referred to a young referee). When people stopped insulting him, the witness told them that the referee could be their son.
St 8
“You are dirty”, “You are in Italy, you have to follow the Italian rules” (referred to some girls in a swimming pool, wearing a burkini: which is legal in Italy).
St 4
a: “Look what a trunk/wardrobe/colossus” (with reference to a sport woman) b: A uniform was given to a woman, but it had the name of a former male player (because it seemed useless to invest in women) c: In the past, a woman doing sport was considered as a lesbian; she was considered having a “third sex”
St 9
“Handicapped people behave badly”, “Be careful, they are egoists who will treat you bad”, “People with disabilities have mental issues”. (From 2002, since Athens would host the 2004 Olympic Games, all referees participated in trainings. Specifically, we were also trained for the Paralympics. The XXXX of the Organising Committee negatively stereotyped all people with disabilities and he instructed the referees to “Be careful”).
St 7
“My coach commented on my body […] I started crying and my fellow players tried to console me”.
