In a shocking display of sexism, Eurosport commentator Bob Ballard made a reprehensible remark during the women’s 4x100m freestyle relay at the Paris Olympics.
This incident highlights the need for accountability and respect in sports commentary. Sexism has no place in sports, and Ballard’s removal serves as a reminder of the importance of promoting equality and inclusivity.
In a clip which went viral on social media, Ballard said: “Well, the women just finishing up. You know what women are like… hanging around, doing their make-up.”
IBallard’s co-commentator Lizzie Simmonds called the remark “outrageous”.
“During a segment of Eurosport’s coverage last night, commentator Bob Ballard made an inappropriate comment,” Eurosport said in a statement.
“To that end, he has been removed from our commentary roster with immediate effect.”
There was no immediate reaction from Ballard.
