���Las feministas me bardearon por maradoniana y las maradonianas por feminista���: amores y valores en conflicto a partir de la muerte de ���El Diego��� para las futbolistas feministas de la capital argentina

This paper aims to analyse an unexplored social dimension by memory, feminist and sport studies: representations and contradictions on ���El Diego��� amid amateur feminist soccer players��� testimonies in Buenos Aires. His death meant a moral and political dilemma on an Argentinian popular symbol among those who build a militant project throughout soccer and feminism. This event became a debate within the feminist movement, which has gained relevance in Argentina since the Ni Una Menos��� uprising (2015) and abortion legalization (2020). One position criticized his masculinity model and any act that honored him, such as his funeral at the Casa Rosada. Aware of this nearby ���cancel culture��� critique, another position highlighted an intersectional review of Marad�����s political and affective role in their personal biographies and social life as a sport hero and popular myth who made happy all soccer fans regardless of their team attachment.
