Fantino Removes Juan Ramón Carrasco After Sexist Remark Toward Journalist

The host ejected the guest on air, signaling deeper tensions over gendered conduct in sports media.

Overview

  • The exchange unfolded Sunday night on the YouTube stream Llenos de Mística when Juan Ramón Carrasco told a lewd 'Jaimito' joke and said to reporter Sofía Romano, “Se ve que esta muchacha está mal atendida.”
  • Romano immediately rejected the line on air, called Carrasco “un ordinario” and asked that the passage be replayed because she said there was no room for misinterpretation.
  • Alejandro Fantino, joining by video call, intervened and ordered Carrasco to leave the broadcast, saying he did not want to share air with someone who had made a disrespectful remark.
  • Before exiting, Carrasco offered a brief apology and said Romano had misinterpreted him; news coverage so far records the exchange but reports no institutional sanctions or follow‑up actions.
  • The incident came during post‑match coverage after the 2026 World Cup final and highlights a wider pattern of lewd banter in sports talk shows that leaves female journalists exposed and may prompt stations to review on‑air conduct policies.
