On August 8, 2026, América scored 10 goals against Cruz Azul Femenil without reply. One of the harshest blowouts ever seen in Liga MX Femenil.
And as if losing that way weren’t painful enough, Santiago Domínguez, a panelist on the podcast “Pláticas del Mal”, decided to kick the players while they were down: he said they should be sent to a club for dancers because they would do better there than as soccer players, and that Cruz Azul should fire them all and leave them without jobs. His podcast colleagues, Mike Máquina del Mal and Criss Angel “Babuino”, added mockery about their salaries.
Content creator Alejandra Zavala exposed the audio recordings, and the snowball kept rolling: Mafer Pons, the club’s sporting director, came out to defend her players and made it clear that she will not tolerate them being sexualized or denigrated. Days later, even David Faitelson joined the fight and held nothing back.
