Original Title: Gigi Becali, the owner of FCSB (ex Steaua Bucharest), just made a series of incredibly sexist statements after the female VAR referee had the courage to overturn 3 blatant mistakes made by the on-field referees in favour of his team.

He said:

“Everything it’s falling apart when a woman referees a man! Let her officiate only women.”

" She… If she had intelligence… But, you know, she’s a woman… What do you expect? "

" The referees officiated well, but if you bring a woman… A woman comes and says, ‘Sir, red!’ Are you crazy? "

" Busi will become a great referee. He’s a person of great quality. Even he said, when he was called to VAR, he said, ‘She is crazy!’ " (he didn’t said that)

“How can she go to the man and tell him that he’s foolish and she’s smart? She can’t! Because she is from the man’s rib.” (Becali presents himself as a Christian).

The statements are taken from GSP (Gazeta Sporturilor, Romania). Also, all major sports websites in Romania have covered these statements:
