"Last Sunday afternoon, the 9th, coverage of the classic match between Internacional and Grêmio, for the final of the Gaucho Championship, began with an episode of hostility against the press. Journalist Alice Bastos Neves, presenter for RBS TV, was the target of verbal abuse from a fan in the stands of the Beira-Rio stadium in Porto Alegre, minutes before the start of the match. The Inter fan was located in front of the journalist, in the stands behind the reserve benches.
Alice was preparing to go live with information about the decision when a man, close to the recording location, began to curse at her. In images that circulated on social media, the fan appears showing his middle finger and shouting insults at the journalist. Among the offenses, he called her a “slut,” provoking outrage from those who witnessed the scene."
