John Blankenstein Foundation wants to speak to the VI team | Entertainment

President Karin Blankenstein presents an "open conversation" about alleged homophobic jokes that are often made in the program. The immediate reason is the way Johan Derksen wrote last week an open letter from a young lhbt supporter to KNVB about the homophobic atmosphere in stadiums.

"I come from The Hague and I, I love hard jokes," says Blankenstein. "But there are jokes and sometimes you have to know its limits, I do not think it's a style that men in the program choose a group of 800,000 people to shoot a boy who sticks his head." [19659003] This Witch

Presenter Wilfred Genee said last week want to enter into conversation with the author of the letter in the first place. But Johan Derksen reported through various media that he did not feel like that because "this brat did not have any self-mockery". Blankenstein then summoned the men for them to engage the conversation on the subject with Lhbt. "But they do not want to, because then they have to start talking about content, and the program is not made for that, they do not understand that they have an exemplary function and thus maintain the homophobic atmosphere. "

Previously, Blankenstein had reached out to three, but had later been ridiculed in the show as "this witch". The president of the Foundation, named after the openly homosexual referee John Blankenstein, received all sorts of threats in his mail in the days that followed.

The author of the letter himself said Friday that he would not want to throw mud at Derksen, despite all his statements. The transmitter Veronica said on Wednesday that he was not moving away from the homophobic jokes of the men of Veronica Inside . This is not the first time this program, formerly known as RTL Football Inside has been criticized for its seemingly homophobic, sexist and racist "jokes."
