Joe Barton It does not sew without thread. Constantly getting into trouble showing his bad disposition, the former England international has done it again. Now – his fixation on women’s football is worrying – by belittling a 17-year-old footballer via social media for making a mistake in a Scotland match.
In recent months, the former soccer star has sparked debate with his misogynistic comments toward female commentators on soccer television broadcasts. “They shouldn’t comment on men’s games,” he said at the time. Now, he couldn’t have been more condescending to a young goalkeeper who made a big mistake in a match.
In a post on X, Barton shared a video showing the goal conceded by Partick Thistle goalkeeper Ava Easdon in the Scottish Cup final against Rangers. “Seriously, let’s talk about the goalkeeper! How is it possible that this kind of crap is shown on television? “He wrote. And the reactions are immediate.
The girl’s own father addressed Barton directly in a rather dry message: “It’s the year 2024 and ‘adult’ men feel the need to belittle and intimidate a 17-year-old student woman who doesn’t get paid to play, unlike some guys who make the same mistakes week after week and still earn hundreds of thousands of pounds,” said the father in words reproduced by the British newspaper ‘The Telegraph ‘.
Calling father and son “victims”
Scotland international Nicola Docherty writes in “It’s not your thing, change the channel, it’s not that hard,” she snapped at a Barton who made it worse: “Being a victim of these people is beyond pathetic -lunos. You and your father are now complaining to the newspapers. You are playing the victims.
He goes much further by describing women’s football as “Lesbo-ball”: “She’s had more publicity about it than she or her father deserved for their real ability. It shouldn’t be on a pay channel because it’s lower quality than standard. . The ‘Lesbo-Ball’ will never be as big as a men’s football, no matter how much you virtue signal. You’re too slow and that won’t change. It’s called biological evolution.”
