Despite the club’s financial problems, which would significantly affect the sports sections, the basketball section of Fútbol Club Barcelona is acquiring solid chips. The last of them is Willy Hernangómez, from the New Orleans Pelicans, who arrives after Real Madrid did not exercise the right of first refusal that he had over the center. While waiting for the possible signing of his brother Juancho, Willy has celebrated the anniversary by receiving hate messages.
A few hours after confirming the culé acquisition, the man from Madrid published a message on his social networks written in Catalan. “Many congratulations to my life, I love you very much,” the text said. He accompanied him with a photograph with his partner, Nicole Traviesa, who also turns 24 this Thursday. The duo celebrated the anniversary and the signing with a romantic dinner in Ibiza, on the beach and by candlelight. However, he did not expect the negative responses he would receive.
Formed in the lower categories of Real Madrid, and having shown his love for the white club in the past, Hernangómez received all kinds of insults and condemnations for the fact that he wrote that post on Twitter in Catalan. From Catalanophobia, to macho comments in relation to his partner, going through samples of the latent enmity between culés and merengues. Many of those messages came to blame his partner for a supposed change of direction.
“Desperate to fuck is sure. In fact, the girlfriend has him two candles and forces him to speak Catalan but nothing. You are very stupid ”, read one of the responses. “Suddenly he is more culerdo and more Catalan than anyone, and he already masters the dialect… It is so embarrassing for others that instead of making me angry, he has given me a laugh…”, was another of the replicas. Some reactions that have found a response among Barca fans: “First hours of culé and already speaking Catalan… those from the capital will have their heads explode.”
Nicole Traviesa, born in Barcelona, ??is a professional padel player and is number 80 in the World Padel Tour ranking, where she competes as a partner with Cristina Carrascosa. This incident is similar to that of another athlete couple who have been insulted in the last few hours due to the actions of her partner. This is the case of Paula Badosa, who has received insults on social networks blaming her for the elimination of Stéfanos Tsitsipás in the round of 16 at Wimbledon.
“Your career is over since you started with Stefanos”, “Stefanos has written this caption” or “Betancourt before, now the Greek, everything except tennis. Retire once and for all” are some of the incendiary comments received by the number 35 of the WTA ranking. Others also even took advantage of the occasion to take advantage of a cramp that Tsitsipás suffered at the press conference table, after her elimination: “Was Badosa under the table? Jesus Christ…”.
