Sexual Harassment during the World Cup

For several weeks, we have enjoyed the festivities of the 2018 World Cup in Russia; however, there is a situation that seems to become unsustainable. The World Cup also brought us shameful episodes of sexual harassment towards female reporters who were just doing their job, as individuals interrupting broadcasts tried to kiss and bother them, using the celebration as a cover.
