Commentator scandal
United ace “has face like beaten ass”
"She still has a face like a beaten-up bottom." A statement by your commentator at the Women's Super League clash between Manchester United and Arsenal (1:1) caused a sexist scandal on the island. Victim of the insult: Manchester United's Ella Toone.
When the striker had to make way for Melvine Malard in the 61st minute of the game, the 25-year-old's disappointment was clear to see. When the camera caught the England international again minutes later, the match commentator said: "Ella Toone, she still has a face like a beaten-up bottom."
Commentator apologized
The statement was made on the World Feed, an international alternative feed to the BBC's own live coverage. However, it is publicly unclear who made the comment. According to the German newspaper "Bild", both the commentator and the production company are said to have apologized for the statement.
