Sports journalist Sofi Martínez replied firmly and calmly to the criticism made by Yanina Latorre, who claimed that she was "overrated" and that her popularity was mainly due to her status as an influencer.
During an interview on the streaming show Ya fue todo, Sofía avoided directly confronting the LAM panelist, but defended her career in the media: "That's fine. I respect her. She can say whatever she wants." she said. She added: "Those are opinions. She's fully entitled to say whatever she wants."
In that same space, the reporter reminded her that Latorre had also questioned the role of many women in sports programs, suggesting that they were chosen for their appearance rather than their professional ability.
In response, Martínez was clear: "I admire many women who hold important roles in sports journalism. We have to keep growing, little by little. There are many who are doing a great job so that more girls, who watch the shows on TV, dream of having a place in sports journalism."
