Australia host loses job over offensive women's football remarks

A presenter on Australia's Triple M radio network lost his job after making misogynist comments about the national women's football team, the Matildas, which were condemned by the sport's governing body.
Marty Sheargold compared the Matildas players to "year 10 girls" and suggested that their matches were boring.
Anika Wells, the Minister for Sport, criticized Sheargold's remarks as "boorish, boring and wrong."
Triple M stated that Sheargold's comments did not "align with views and values" and subsequently took the program off air.
