Basketball King’s Cup
The former player, now a commentator on Movistar+, is being threatened by Barça fans for her alleged comments against the team. During the Cup final he received boos and insults from the cul area.
The Copa del Rey 2022 party, that of the return of the public to the stands and the charangas to the streets, that of a recovered atmosphere -last year in Madrid it was behind closed doors due to the pandemic- so unique, so fraternal among hobbies, which is the great treasure of national basketball, had an unfortunate mole. Such a sad episode, so from other buffoonery and muddy fields, that it should be denounced. Looking the other way is being an accomplice.
One of the novelties of the Movistar broadcasts was, once the matches were over, to broadcast the questions of the journalists and commentators of the network and the answers of the protagonist in question. After the final, to the euphoric Niko Mirotic they asked him, in this order, the narrator Fran Fermosoafter Sitapha Savane and finally Amaya Valdemoro. When the former player uttered her question, there was a brutal anger, a prolonged, unpleasant and unfair boo by the Bara fans that made her words inaudible.
It is the straw that fills a glass full for a long time. Insults had already been heard in the stands and the threats on social networks to the former player are insufferable. Amaya, from her impotence, prefers to remain silent for fear of making the wave of harassment even greater.
The public lynching in Grenada is just the tip of the iceberg. A few years ago, a good handful of Dracs supporters waited for her outside the Palau Blaugrana. The ‘sin’ of Valdemoro, a wonderful commentator since he retired from professional basketball years ago with an unbeatable resume, one of the few on television microphones throughout the national sports scene, is that he is, or said he was, a follower of the Real Madrid. Although no one would have noticed it because of her evaluations.
The hatred of the national basketball legend comes from afar and has even been incited by the media. One of them, elnacional.cat, titled this Sunday: The face of the Movistar anticuls announcers: Mirotic yells at them Visca el Bara. In the pigsty, anything goes. Amaya was also sung during the tournament on several occasions, when Bara won their matches: “Where is Valdemoro?”.
Curiously, one of the causes against which the Endesa League has been fighting for a long time, with a campaign that had a great impact thanks to the testimony of Miquel Montoro, is the fight against bullying. In the same Cup there were several acts in this sense. Several players and referees ‘tattooed’ the message for the occasion. In addition, Pepe Pozas and Jaime Fernández, held a talk with the children participating in the Endesa Mini Cup as part of the campaign We Act Against Bullying. Sometimes you don’t have to go far to see who is suffering from it.
