Journalist and vlogger Vasily Utkin spoke about his attitude towards the fact that the newcomer from Lokomotiv Pedro Gabrielo they couldn’t put their nickname on the game shirt.
The Brazilian calls himself Pedrinho. The club believes he “looks gay”.
“There are some players with the name Pedrinho who have become very important figures in South America and Portugal. And so Pedrinho came to Lokomotiv. And the first thing he was asked was to write Pedro Gabriel on the back, because Pedrinho sounds a bit silly in Russian. He played widely, broadcast on Match TV. Someone fires the coaches during the break, and someone makes it clear that the player’s name is not Pedrinho. And the general opinion is that this is some kind of shame, garbage. What’s so special about it? Have you never met Pedrinius, Pedro in Brazil? In general, Lokomotiv is again condemned by everyone for depriving Pedrinho of his name. My friends, I don’t even like this whole pedrinya thing: it reeks of hypocrisy from a mile away.
But you, giving examples of the fact that this did not matter in other countries and situations, you are aware that we do not live somewhere in space, but especially in Russia, and right now, and soon we will have a new edition of the law on propaganda LGBT? Holy holy. Do you understand what kind of history Lokomotiv can fall into if some young people are inspired by Pedrinho, want to be like Pedrinho? And in general, how it will sound: “Sounds like Pedrinho”. And they fired them for less. So fears, if they are ridiculous and hypocritical, are completely normal and correspond to the spirit of the time. Don’t think I’m scaring you. I am writing on this topic. And in general, it seems to me that you enjoy it, at least I try.Utkin said.
