Amid the pandemic that plagues the world, and with the cessation of sports activities, athletes turned to the use of social networks to show how they spend their days in quarantine. While many are recorded with their family doing household chores or training, others chose to make publications in bad taste.

This was the case of Botafogo attacker Luis Henrique, who shared a video that he was later forced to delete after receiving a wave of criticism through Instagram. In the filming he uploaded, he could be seen, along with his father and brothers, playing a soccer video game. Subsequently, the forward pointed the camera forward and showed the three women tied to a chair and gags.

The 18-year-old tied and gagged his girlfriend and daughters, and sent a message to his followers. “For those who still say they don't know how to quarantine women. Here's how. Only then can we be home. So, do your part and stay at home ”, was the controversial message from the footballer.

This attempt at a bad taste joke logically was not well received by his 24,500 followers, who criticized him in such a way that he was forced to delete the video. Later, Henrique made his release in statements to Globoesporte.com, where he assured that everything was agreed with his relatives.

The extreme right tried to justify himself by acknowledging that many comedians made the same joke through social networks and that his entire family agreed to make and publish the video.

The number of people diagnosed with the new coronavirus in Brazil rose to 2,201 on Tuesday and the total death toll reached 46 on Tuesday, after an increase of 12 deaths in the last 24 hours.

The data was published by the Ministry of Health and reflects an increase in the number of confirmed cases was 16%, and that of deaths 35%. San Pablo continues as the city with the highest number of infected in all of Brazil. According to the new balance, the state has 810 confirmed cases of the disease and 40 of the deaths.
