Australian radio presenter loses job over offensive women’s football comments | BBC News
An Australian radio presenter has left the network after comments he made about the country’s women’s football team.
The remarks have been widely branded as misogynistic and disrespectful.
Marty Sheargold said on nationwide radio station Triple M that the Matildas players reminded him of “year 10 girls” and implied that their matches were boring.
He apologised earlier on Wednesday, but the station said they and Sheargold had agreed to “mutually part ways”.
In a statement, Sheargold said that he fully understood the gravity of his remarks and would like to “sincerely apologise to the Matildas and the broader organisation”.

New York state prosecutors say they will reopen a criminal inquiry into the alleged rape of a woman at Cornell University in 2024.
The woman filed a civil lawsuit on 16 September alleging she was drugged and raped by multiple people at a fraternity house at the university.
“Once we determine the appropriate charges, the case will be prosecuted in the most objective and impartial means possible” through a grand jury, Tompkins County District Attorney Matthew Van Houten said Monday.
Cornell University said that while it supported the case being brought before a grand jury, “any suggestion that the university did not impose consequential punishments for those involved is false”.

Every morning Igor Smelyansky looks at a vast map of Ukraine on his office wall and decides where he should put his people in harm’s way.
His aides provide him with live intelligence about Russian attacks and he deploys his teams, balancing their potential operational success against risk to life or limb.
But Smelyansky is no military commander. He is the head of Ukraine’s state postal service, Ukrposhta.
The BBC’s James Landale follows the postal workers who are risking their lives.

Now, the giant predatory fish are back – in huge numbers.
Their return is one of several wildlife recoveries highlighted in a major new report from WWF, which it says shows conservation can work.
But the Living Planet Report 2026 also finds that monitored wildlife populations around the world have fallen by an average of 73% since 1970.
