BBC admit asking 'inappropriate' question to player at Women's World Cup
The BBC has admitted asking an"inappropriate" question about sexuality to the Moroccan captain at the Women's World Cup.
A journalist - reported to be from the BBC's World Service - has faced criticism after quizzing Ghizlane Chebbak on whether there were any gay players in her squad, with same-sex relationships illegal in the north African country. The unnamed male reporter asked the 32-year-old footballer during a news conference in Melbourne:"In Morocco it's illegal to have a gay relationship, do you have any gay players in your squad and what's life like for them in Morocco?"
A FIFA media representative warned the journalist:"Sorry this is a very political question so we will just stick to questions related to football please." But the reporter responded:"No, no, it's not political, it's about people, it's nothing to do with politics, please let her answer.", which may be using cookies and other technologies.
