Horacio Pagani was sanctioned after his violent reaction against Nicolás Distacio

After the Superclásico was played last Sunday, as usual from the different sports programs they debated about the result, which this time was favorable for Boca Jr, and analyzed the different plays throughout the game. However, in Pasión de Fútbol, led by Pollo Vignolo, things overflowed, when Nicolás Distacio questioned the play in which Aliendro ended up fractured. While the journalist gave his point of view, the back and forth was increasing and everything overflowed after Distacio said ridiculous to Horacio Pagani. Immediately the journalist’s reaction became very violent and he began to hurl insults at him as he went to the panel where the colleague was, and, he threatened to hit his partner, before the stunned gaze of everyone on the floor. 

After the violent episode, the authorities of the Thirteen decided to take action on the matter and apply a sanction to both journalists. The news was given from Partners of the Show who also went to look for the word of Pagani, who showed a regret for his actions. It was there that Rodrigo Lussich reported that the journalists were notified so that next Sunday they do not show up for work: “In principle we are talking about a suspension, in some way, they prefer that they do not come this Sunday, as if to lower the waters, and we will see if in the future both continue to be part of the program,” Lussich said before presenting the note with Horacio.Consulted at the exit of Bendita Tv, Pagani explained, “I was disrespected and I’m not one to turn the other cheek. If they disrespect me, they answer twice as much. And I got the feeling that my hand went out… But, well… It’s over,” he admitted. Then he gave way to reflection and said: “I am sorry because I said some very strong barbarities on television. And I said insults and this deserves to be sanctioned. I hope they have even law, I was not the one who started the aggression. This is in sight,” he continued. He then referred to the sanction and said: “They told me not to go on Sunday, it’s a kind of suspension. And that’s okay, you have to take care of the issues that happen.”
