"It's Sad to See These Things and That We Use Children": Washington Aguerre, Peñarol Goalkeeper's Complaint
Washington Aguerre, the goalkeeper for Uruguayan football club Peñarol, has expressed his disapproval of the use of children in protests and demonstrations.
Aguerre's comments came in response to a recent incident in which a group of children were used as human shields during a protest in Montevideo.
Aguerre stated, "It's lamentable to see these things and that we use children. They are the most vulnerable and should be protected. We must find other ways to express our discontent without putting children at risk."
Aguerre's comments have been met with support from other players and fans. Many have expressed their agreement that children should not be used in such a manner and that other methods of protest should be found.
The use of children in protests and demonstrations is a controversial issue. Some argue that it is a legitimate way to draw attention to a cause, while others believe that it is exploitative and puts children at risk.
There is no easy answer to this question. However, it is important to consider the safety and well-being of children when making decisions about how to protest or demonstrate.
In the case of the Montevideo protest, the use of children as human shields was widely condemned. It is clear that this is not an acceptable way to protest and that other methods should be found.
Aguerre's comments serve as a reminder that we must always put the safety and well-being of children first.
