Wimbledon Champion Krejcikova Body-Shamed, Journalist Suspended | First Sports With Rupha Ramani
Wimbledon champion Barbora Krejcikova was body-shamed by renowned journalist Jon Wertheim. Wertheim mocked Krejcikova's forehead during the broadcast. Following the statement, Wertheim faced the wrath of fans and Krejcikova. The journalist was suspended by the broadcasters and had to issue an apology. Is this a recurring issue in women sports? Rupha Ramani looks at how prominent voices have normalised overlooking the achievements of women athletes.
Also on the show, dispute surrounding the 2025 Champions Trophy escalates further. International Cricket Council (ICC) has confirmed India's decision to not travel to Pakistan for the tournament. Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) is seeking their government's inputs on the matter. Will ICC intervene given the geo-political tensions surrounding the two nations? And Lionel Messi's Inter Miami has been knocked out of the MLS Cup playoffs. This after the club lost to Atlanta United 3-0 in the first round. With Messi's exit, will the MLS Cup hold similar significance? Is this a preview of danger surrounding MLS' future after Messi's departure?
