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”.

A retired British couple who were on a yacht which had warning shots fired near it by a Russian warship in the English Channel said the experience was “surreal”.
Russia’s defence ministry said the yacht was on a “dangerous course” and that several attempts were made to contact it.
This came hours after the UK government imposed further sanctions on Russian businesses and on ships accused of illegally transporting Russian oil and gas.
It also followed the announcement that the UK defence minister had resigned over the UK government’s lack of spending on defence and security.
We speak to the BBC’s diplomatic correspondent, Paul Adams, about the incident and the alleged security risks posed to the UK by Russia.
