Alan Brazil Accused Of Sexism After Women In Football Rant On Talksport

Alan Brazil has become embroiled in a sexism row after he made disparaging remarks about female football reporters.

When discussing women who commentate on the game during his breakfast show on talkSPORT radio, former Ipswich Town striker Brazil said: "It makes me cringe when they get players' names wrong."

Brazil's remark comes a day after Helena Costa was named manager of Ligue 2 side Clermont Foot.

The irony of Brazil's comment is he features regularly on talkSPORT presenters Hawksbee & Jacobs' "Clips of the Week" slot, which rounds up the funniest bloopers on the radio show.

Brazil joined talkSPORT as their breakfast show host in 2001

If @talksport are going to take such a stance against racism, how can Alan Brazil allowed to be so sexist? He 'cringes' when women report...

Alan Brazil is right- I also cringe when female reporters get names wrong. But then I also cringe at white van man, misogynistic radio too.

Alan Brazil has gone right up in my estimations. Come on, let's be honest, nobody cares about women's football. The coverage is overblown!
