BBC apologizes for reporter's 'inappropriate' question to Morocco women's team captain
At a media conference ahead of Morocco’s Women’s World Cup opener against Germany, a reporter from the British news organization’s World Service asked Ghizlane Chebbak: “In Morocco, it’s illegal to have a gay relationship. Do you have any gay players in your squad and what’s life like for them in Morocco?” The press conference moderator interjected, saying: “Sorry, this is a very political question, so we’ll just stick to questions relating to football.
” Shireen Ahmed, a reporter for CBC Sports who was also in the room, wrote that the reporter was “completely out of line.” “Harm reduction matters and posing the question to the captain or coach was unnecessary,” she added. “Asking a player about her teammates and whether they are gay and how it affects them when you know it is not permissible is bizarre and out of line. The captain cannot out players nor comment on policy bc [because] it could be dangerous for them, too,” Ahmed wrote.
