Germán "el Mono" Burgos was a commentator for the Movistar Plus+ network. Burgos made a comment about Barcelona's 16-year-old star Lamine Yamal.
The former goalkeeper apologized but the network announced the end of their relationship. The boy's father expressed himself on social networks and asked for respect for his son, only 16 years old. "If he doesn't do well he ends up at a traffic light," Burgos said in a text to CNN. The network called the comments "unfortunate" and also apologized "publicly" and said it "will take appropriate measures to ensure that these events do not occur again" "Football unites everything and everyone, that is why it is the best sport since it does not discriminate based on sex, race, religion, disability, age or sexual orientation," said Burgos in a statement. "Movistar condemns any type of discrimination and will not allow this type of comments from any of the workers linked to the platform"
