Sports Media Exec Destroyed After Whining About 'Too Many Women World Cup Commentators'

'talkSPORT' founder Kelvin MacKenzie was quickly schooled after complaining on Twitter about ITV's coverage of the World Cup including so many female soccer pundits.

Just as your country's men's soccer team is losing in front of the whole world, why not take the time to make an out-of-date, pie-faced misogynist comment on Twitter?

Recently, TalkSPORT founder Kelvin MacKenzie took to Twitter to complain about his true issue with the men's World Cup going on right now.


Too many women commentators.

As this take was both not needed at the moment that England's men's team was busy losing to France, as well as deeply wrong and antiquated—and because soccer has many fans who are women—MacKenzie was promptly rebuked for his comment.

Really, reactions fell into two types.

First there were those who expressed how wrong and misguided the take was, also taking an opportunity to point out MacKenzie's own problems.



And then there were those who addressed the hypocrisy in the tweet itself.

MacKenzie wanted world-class coverage but failed to remember the only England national team to win a cup recently—since 1966—is the Lionesses.

England's women's team won the Euro Women's Cup earlier this year.

Overall, the response was a grumpy eyeroll, as this is another example of a White, cisgender heternormative man commenting how much he doesn't like it when his previously male-dominated field is even slightly more diverse.

One responder summed up the feeling MacKenzie is showing off.

The world cup continues into the semi-finals this week, complete with commentators of all genders.

Jasmine Crockett Calls Out Trump's Hypocrisy By Pointing Out How Melania Got Her Visa

Texas Democratic Representative Jasmine Crockett pointed out President Donald Trump's hypocrisy on immigration considering how First Lady Melania Trump's pathway to citizenship was possible because she received an "Einstein visa," which is usually reserved for an individual with "some sort of significant achievement."

Speaking during a House Judiciary Committee hearing titled “Restoring Integrity and Security to the Visa Process,” Crockett noted that “the idea that Trump and my Republican colleagues want to restore integrity and security in the visa process is actually a joke," and harshly criticized the Trump administration's immigration crackdown and visa restrictions.

Fox Host Comes To Reporter's Defense After Pete Hegseth Berates Her At Pentagon Briefing

Fox News' chief political analyst Brit Hume came to the defense of Fox national security reporter Jennifer Griffin after their former colleague, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, criticized Griffin as the reporter "who misrepresents the most intentionally what the president says” in a Pentagon news conference.

Hegseth, a former Fox News anchor, had criticized media outlets—including his former network—for what he described as unpatriotic reporting. Hegseth took particular aim at early intelligence assessments suggesting that President Donald Trump's bombing of Iran may not have significantly crippled Iran’s nuclear capabilities.

Fox Host Slams Dem For Dropping An F-Bomb After Praising Trump For The Same Thing Just Minutes Earlier

Fox News host Emily Compagno was criticized after she praised Donald Trump's use of the "f-bomb" earlier this week before condemning Texas Democratic Representative Jasmine Crockett's use of the same word—on the same episode of her show, no less.

Trump made headlines this week after admonishing Israel and Iran for violating a ceasefire agreement he'd announced on Truth Social. Although he claimed the ceasefire had been "agreed upon," Iran fired at least six missile barrages at Israel after it was supposed to take effect.
