Former Manchester United, West Ham, Sevilla and Real Madrid striker Javier Hernandez has come out to apologize after his ban on sex comment. The Mexican said he “deeply regrets” making the sexist remarks that led to him being fined and warned about his future conduct.
The Mexican Football Federation (FMF) said the 37-year-old, now with Liga MX side Chivas, made a series of statements on TikTok “promoting sexist stereotypes that are considered media violence and go against gender equality in sport”.
In an apology posted on Instagram on Thursday, he said it was “never my intention” to “hurt or divide”.
“failing” and “eradicating masculinity.” “Don’t be afraid to be women, to allow yourselves to be led by a man.” “I deeply regret any confusion or discomfort that my recent words have caused.”
He said he was “listening, reflecting and committed to expressing myself with better clarity and sensitivity” and he would “take this opportunity to understand, grow and continue working to be a better version of myself.”
