A prominent Australian radio host has issued an apology for making derogatory remarks about women's football, which were broadcast live on Triple M. The comments have been deemed 'unacceptable' and 'deeply disappointing' by the sport's governing body, undermining the impressive achievements of the Australian women's team, who reached the semi-finals in the 2023 Women's World Cup. The incident has sparked outrage, with many calling for greater respect and recognition of women's sports, including women's football and the Matildas. The apology comes as a step towards rectifying the damage, promoting a more inclusive and supportive environment for female athletes, and encouraging participation in women's soccer.
