The website for Irish women
In the world of sports, we like to think female athletes, presenters or supporters are starting to be treated equally.
Unfortunately, BT Sport presenter Lynsey Hipgrave is proof that the problem of sexism is still all too real. For anyone who’s not 100% sport literate, Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez were at the centre of a controversial Barcelona penalty on Sunday.Think that Messi pen is so disrespectful more I see it. Just let Suarez take the pen if you want to be such a good team mate.
She’s a woman with an interest, who watched the game and wanted her say. Just like most other commentators would.*Warning – These tweets contain offensive language and some readers may be offendedAnd ladies and gentlemen, this is why we don’t hire any females unless we need our dicks sucked or our food cooked.While some deleted their tweets or accounts, others actually received numerous retweets and favourites… which is seriously concerning.
