“Girls to ball? And who is making dinner in the kitchen?” or “Today girls play at 17:00 and then go to the kitchen” can be read in the screenshots of the Whatsapp team of the men’s championship. Because of the insults to female pelotaris, the organizers of the championship have decided to suspend the boys’ championship.

In view of the decision taken, the members of the organization have conveyed the message we received from Maxixatz: “In the face of the insults to women that have been written this week in the Pelotai Eun Men’s Championship team, the organization team apologizes. Above all, for failing to respond quickly and satisfactorily at the time. The organization has therefore taken the following decision: Annulment of the village boys' championship. Finally, the organization is again asking for forgiveness and wants to make it clear that, as in recent years, it will continue to work steadfastly to promote equality. The decisions taken from now on will continue to be known.”
