The former Brazilian assistant referee Fernanda Colombo shared on her social networks an email that was sent to her in which a person offered her to work by selling her body to be with men who would pay her very well for "paid meetings with intelligent, educated and respectful men for a minimum of 7,000 reais".
After reading this strong message, the former referee decided to show her feelings also on social networks, where she explained that she did not understand why she could receive such a proposal if she had only devoted her life and soul to football and excel on television. "I have just received this email containing an immoral proposal that made me feel trash. All I want is to be able to work with what I love, which is football and journalism, and that everyone can respect the path I chose for my life." After this message, she received other messages from many people, followers and collaborators on the television channel who encouraged her to continue in what really matter for her, soccer, discrediting the action of the person who sent her the proposal.
Fernanda Colombo is currently off the field; she made this decision after she met her husband, Sandro Ricci, who refereed at the 2018 World Cup in Russia. Currently, Colombo works as an analyst in a sports program giving her point of view both of the match and of the refereeing work.
