Edson Zúñiga Offers to Pay Chicharito’s FMF Fine Over Sexist Remarks

The comedian frames the offer as a stand for free expression in response to the federation’s penalty for posts widely criticized as sexist.

Overview

  • Edson Zúñiga, known as El Norteño and El Compayito, said in an interview on El minuto que cambió mi destino that he would cover the 386,000‑peso fine imposed on Javier Hernández.
  • He emphasized that he does not share Hernández’s views and described doing household chores in his own home to underscore his stance on equality.
  • Zúñiga called the financial penalty disproportionate for what he characterized as a personal opinion.
  • The FMF’s Gender and Diversity Commission fined Hernández for social media posts urging women to embody "feminine energy" and be "led by a man," comments widely condemned as sexist.
  • According to Zúñiga, Hernández has not responded to the offer to pay the sanction.
