AESAF reports Florentino Pérez to the Anti-Violence Commission

The Spanish Association of Football Referees (AESAF) has filed two complaints with the State Commission against Violence, Racism, Xenophobia and Intolerance in Sport. They directly point to Florentino Pérez, president of Real Madrid, and the club's official channel for generating a climate of hostility and systematic pressure towards the refereeing body.

The club's channel as a tool of digital pressure 🎥

Real Madrid TV has developed a content strategy that repeatedly edits and broadcasts refereeing decisions, amplifying controversial calls with a constant critical focus. This media treatment, supported by high-reach digital platforms, creates an ecosystem where refereeing errors become a daily soap opera. AESAF argues that this practice is not sports journalism, but a targeting mechanism that escalates tension before, during, and after each match.

Technology does not detect the president's whining 🤖

While Real Madrid boasts about smart stadiums and AI-driven tactical analysis, it seems they have not developed software to filter out presidential whining on their channel. Perhaps the club's next great technological breakthrough will be an emotional VAR that calibrates whether Florentino's complaints are justified or just replay after replay. In the meantime, referees will keep blowing the whistle, with or without complaints, because that's what they get paid for.
