Javi & Pedro (@hieloespanol, the only Spanish journalist who actually knows what a figureskate is) both said this article is bullshit and a complete misrepresentation of what Javi actually said to the press.
interesting...did they clarify his statements then? on the one hand, I want to believe that. on the other...well people always backpeddle after they get criticized.
From that journalist's twitter, it sounds like he's saying just because Javi agrees that gays should lie low doesn't mean he agrees with Putin's policies, or something. He doesn't seem to get that saying gays should shut up and be silent in the face of oppression is offensive. I really question that El Mundo would lie about this... It wouldn't exactly be scandalous to Spaniards for Javi to say what he (allegedly) did.
