    How not to journalism 101.

    “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?”

    Imagine if she had answered!!

    Really there are so many ways journalists can draw attention to the widespread criminalisation, persecution of discrimination against LGBT+ people globally that do not place individuals at risk of danger, this is just not it.

  2. This was a foolish move in the part of the journalist, but criticism should also be aimed at Morocco and their barbaric, outdated and discriminatory laws.

  3. The BBC are becoming less fit for purpose with each passing day. Time for a serious review into the organisation from top to bottom.

  4. >”In Morocco, it’s illegal to have a gay relationship. Do you have any gay players in your squad?”

    Imagine being this dense.

    >The press conference moderator refuted the question, saying it was “political” in nature and reporters should “just stick to questions relating to football”.
    >
    >The unnamed journalist, however, hit back and claimed the question was not political but “about people”.

    And then doubling down on it…

  5. The leadership in these anti-gay countries really need to sit down and take a good look at themselves, what harm are people of the same sex that fall in love doing to either them their religion or their country, none, none whatsoever, would be a better world if people kept their noses out of other peoples business and concentrated on their own lives.

  6. BBC trying to get people killed for clickbait videos?
