One of the most prestigious soccer awards ceremonies in the world sparked outrage Monday night when the first-ever women’s soccer player of the year was asked to twerk on stage by a male presenter.
One really doesn’t need to understand the game, or have to know the sportsperson, to know that asking a woman to twerk on stage is just NOT ok.
Norwegian striker Ada Hegerberg, 23, had just accepted her trophy when the presenter, Martin Solveig, a DJ and producer, asked her in French if “she could twerk”. Hegerberg declined. With an abrupt “no,” she turned and left.
