Hello everyone! Today I'm gonna talk about the American Football Cup. Honestly, I don't care about this tournament. I don't want to be stereotyped like the woman who hates football because stultifies the male gender, those who supposedly stand in front of the TV to cover it to their husband or boyfriend, that one who hates barbecues etc. I just hate it. I do not know if it's because bad experiencies receiving painful hits with a ball; because the discomfort that make me feel the subsequent victory celebrations that include fireworks, shouts, and general lawlessness; or because football does not seem like an attractive sport for me. The only thing I know, is that throughout the tournament everything the media covered was related to the Cup. It seemed like the huge void of content that usually presents was filled with things without importance. Who cares about the players' haircut? Or how many millions they spend in their clothes? We are definetly out of focus. Of course winning the cup give a great joy to many families and soccer fans who have waited this during all chilean history . But, is this a victory for all Chileans? No. My identity card says that i'm chilean and ithis cup does not fill my chest with pride. My happiness and pride are waiting when the most of peope get the focus.
Ladies and Gentlemen, The King Arthur!!

  1. Hello CLaudia :) I really like your post, stereotypes of women they are basic and unnecessary. I think that sexism and chauvinism ruin and damage the beauty of sport. See your in the class :D goodbye.

  2. Hi baby loggerhead. I agree with you, the media force us to be part of this "great victory", trying to convince us that we should forget all national problems.
    Greetings <3

  3. Claudia,

    WC: 228. That’s not enough! You were asked to write 300 words. Make sure you stick to the instructions next time. However, your writing is very interesting indeed. "Huge void of content" is a great idea. You should have worked on the edition of your text more thoroughly, though.

    Please consider:


    … because IT stultifies the male gender,

    …those who supposedly stand in front of the TV to cover it (to) FROM their husband or boyfriend,

    …I do not know if it's because OF bad experience(i)es receiving painful hits with a ball;

    because OF the discomfort that
    1)the subsequent victory celebrations that include fireworks, shouts, and general lawlessness;
    2)makeS me feel

    … that usually (presents???) was filled with things without importance.

    … Or how many millions they spend (in) ON their clothes?

    …… winning the cup (give) GAVE a great joy to many families and soccer fans who have waited FOR this during all C©hilean history .

    Cheers,
