Sporting Gijon may want to think about how they communicate with their followers a bit more after a heavily panned post was uploaded to the club’s social media page.

In the video an underage girl is in the middle of Estadio Municipal El Molinón – Enrique Castro “Quini” field cleaning the center circle with a wet broom, she later paints the half field line with the universal symbol for women.

While the video was intended to be about inclusion, the end result was a catastrophic nightmare, as supporters panned the video.
