Joey Barton has once again taken to social media to continue his sexist campaign against women’s football, suggesting that England‘s men would beat European champions the Lionesses 30-0 inside one half of football.
Barton has made headlines of late for his social media rants against women in men’s football, clashing with a number of analysts, commentators and pundits featuring in coverage for the men’s game.
Alex Scott notably hit out at Barton, while Emma Hayes launched a scathing four-minute monologue against male privilege in football and Carrie Brown admitted that working on football has ‘sucked the life out of her’ after Barton referenced her appearance.
The controversial former England international was seen earlier this week at Brighton’s 1-0 win over his former team Marseille in the Europa League, and was spotted interacting with fans in the stands and posing for selfies.
On Friday Barton reposted a video that had done the rounds on social media of a team of both former members of the USA women’s team losing 12-0 to a team of ex-Wrexham players, accompanied by another seemingly sexist caption.
’12-0 Retired men on a smaller pitch!’ the former Bristol Rovers boss wrote.
‘But yeah let’s just keep pretending it’s the same game shall we? Last thing we want is people to get their knickers in a twist.
‘The Women’s game is growing and that is amazing. Stop trying to ruin ours!’
