Francesca Costa, mother of Zaniolo: still sexist choirs in 2019?
"Zaniolo's mother is a bitch", these are the epithets shouted at the top of their voices in the stands by Parma fans. Francesca's fault? Being 41 and still a beautiful woman, who likes to upload her own selfies, or "trivial photos" as she defines them, on Instagram. Are these the bases for attributing the title of "no good" to a woman? Still? In 2019? But what progress and civilization!
Worse than the Neapolitans and Balotelli
Treated worse than the Neapolitans and Balotelli, who, targets of a stadium ignorance that dedicates racist chants to them, nevertheless find media solidarity. Instead, she is told that such incidents "There have always been", "The teasing are others" and, the most popular, "He goes looking for". None of these answers is a justification for what is an increasingly serious problem in the world of football, verbal violence, for which we have not yet committed enough in the direction of a solution that immediately puts an end to the social havoc to which we attend every Sunday.

The proud words for his son Nicolò
Sunday is not the first sexist episode that Zaniolo's mother was a victim of. Even during the Derby, the woman was able, or rather, had to experience the tense atmosphere on her own skin.
"To the insults sung by such polite individuals, of which mothers will be proud, you responded on the pitch in the best possible way", These are Francesca Costa's words of love for her son.
Nicolò Zaniolo, born in 99, at only 20 years old is one of the most promising players of Roma and the youngest Italian footballer to have scored a double in the Champions League. The boy demonstrates a temperance that is certainly unusual for his young age and teaches us how important it is to be able to control one's emotions and transform anger into positive energy.
This makes him a true champion, on and off the pitch.
