At a Delhi second-tier football match, City Football Club official Mohammed Sajid stormed the pitch, verbally attacking a female referee not long ago. Accusing her of intoxication and bias, he even threatened her job.
This incident has sparked outrage, especially as efforts are being made globally to encourage more women in sports. Anuj Gupta, President of the Delhi Soccer Association, called the behavior ‘uncalled for’ but attributed it to the ‘heat of the moment.’
Fair or not, this calls for a serious discussion on respect and equality in sports.
