[edit] Richarlyson affair

On June 25, 2007, the newspaper Agora reported that a football player of a major team would come out of the closet in an exclusive interview with Rede Globo's newsmagazine Fantástico. The following day, Milton Neves hosted Palmeiras director José Cyrillo Júnior on his live TV show Debate Bola. Neves asked Cyrillo if the player who was coming out was from his team. Cyrillo replied: "No, although Richarlyson was almost hired by Palmeiras".[1]

Richarlyson's attorney, Renato Salge, per his client's request, filed a legal complaint against Cyrillo. Nevertheless, Judge Manoel Maximiano Junqueira Filho dismissed the complaint, stating that football is a "virile, masculine sport and not a homosexual one". He suggested that a homosexual player should leave the team or start one of his own. The judge was given fifteen days to explain himself to the Justice Council of São Paulo. Salge also filed a complaint against the judge.[2]
