Former Manchester United striker Javier Hernandez has been fined and warned about his future conduct, after making sexist remarks on social media.
The Mexican Football Federation said the 37-year-old, now with Liga MX side Chivas, made a series of statements "promoting sexist stereotypes that are considered media violence and go against gender equality in sport" on TikTok.
The striker said on social media that women are "failing" and "eradicating masculinity".
"Don't be afraid to be women, to allow yourselves to be led by a man," said the former Mexico captain.
The comments, which were made last weekend, were met with backlash in Mexico.
