Titulo de la nota

Tigres UANL lifted the title of the Apertura 2016 over the Águilas del América, which is whether you like it or not, the most followed team in Mexico. Just two days after the Final at El Volcán, they continue to generate comments and mockery. In this context, Ricardo Peláez, the boss in Coapa, and José Ramón Fernández, a sports journalist, are examples of how "freedom of expression is forgotten with América".

The Universal Declaration of Human Rights states in Article 19: Everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression; this right includes not being harassed because of one's opinions, the right to seek, receive, and impart information and ideas through any media and regardless of frontiers.

"EL GATO DE VERGARA"

José Luis Higuera, CEO of Omnilife–Chivas, after America's defeat to Tigres, tweeted from his personal account (@JLHB33): "We have to go out for dinner, but for some people, sushi and cabrito give them diarrhea". He accompanied the post with laughing emojis.

"I see there, or someone showed me, that the cat from Vergara, what's his name? Higareda or something?, is saying stupid things. We are going to complain about executives through the League; we have to play fair in every sense. This man has never won anything, he is a nobody and is useless," said Ricardo Peláez hours later after Higuera's message.

Paláez, while commenting that "we are going to complain about executives through the League; we have to play fair in every sense," forgot about the freedom of expression of Chivas' CEO, who subsequently apologized for exercising his human right number 19.

"Good morning, I apologize to all the fans of @ClubAmerica for my tweet yesterday. There was never any intention to offend."

THE UNFORTUNATE COMMENT BY JOSERRA

José Ramón Fernández made a comment about the performance of referee Jorge Isaac Rojas after the Tigres vs. América Final, which caused annoyance and almost immediate requests for a public apology from the ESPN journalist.

"There were very violent tackles, the referee was a disaster, a joke. This referee has Down Syndrome," said 'Joserra', prompting even requests for the National Council to Prevent Discrimination (Conapred) to investigate the case.

Subsequently, José Ramón offered the apology that offended fans promoted on "the world's platform for social change," change.org, a request that garnered more than 5,000 signatures.

"I apologize here (Twitter) as I did on TV, radio, and my column today for my unfortunate comment. It was not intended to hurt anyone."

When demanding José Ramón's public apology, users "forgot that being a public figure is not an excuse to be disrespectful and to misuse the term Down Syndrome," thus forgetting the freedom of expression of the ESPN commentator, who exercised his human right number 19.
