The left’s Utopia is devoid of all humor

NEWSER) – It was, as Norwegian soccer great Ada Hegerberg told the audience, “a huge step for women’s football.” The 23-year-old had just become the first woman to win the prestigious Ballon D’or in France, which recognizes the greatest soccer player in the world. And then the event’s host tried to be funny: French DJ Martin Solveig asked Hegerberg to dance and wondered if she knew how to twerk, reports Time. Hegerberg responded “no” and began walking off stage, the moment captured here, though she did remain to dance with Solveig to a Frank Sinatra song.

The “twerk” question, though, exploded on social media, with Solveig coming under worldwide criticism for sexism. “This is disgusting,” tweeted US soccer great Abby Wambach. “Imagine having just been given the best award for your craft/job/passion, and this is the question you’re asked?!”

From the tennis world, Andy Murray called it “another example of the ridiculous sexism in sport,” per the Guardian. Solveig tweeted an apology video, saying it was a “bad joke” and not meant to offend, and Hegerberg herself told the BBC that she didn’t perceive it as an insult in the moment.

  1. You just became one of the world’s all-time-greats in your profession…at age 23! Do you want to shake your ass in front of the world now?

    NO!

    As a father of two daughters, where is the joke?

  2. “… like a dog’s walking on his hind legs. It is not done well; but you are surprised to find it done at all.”

    Greatest Soccer Player in the World?
    Greatest Tiddlywinks Player in the World?
    Greatest Tic-Tac-Toe Player in the World?

    Yeah, the totalitarians have a sense of humor, it’s just very VERY subtle.

    Rotting Europe still trying to shine a weak-batteried flashlight on something.
    Oh, well … have at it …

  3. Even on middle of the road websites where this agitation-propaganda piece was published, the *vast* majority of commenters said this was just a ploy for the Left to shout, “I’m offended!” for no real reason.

  4. I still firmly believe that this manufactured outrage is always created by a few to pretend it’s many. As a result the poor bastard (and make no mistake the victim is usually a white male) feels forced into a groveling apology which never really works and now he’s a bitch on the leash of the PC SJW’s of whatever stripe. Stand up and tell them to screw off. I suspect the the screaming will increase, boycotts called and fail and shortly silence will descend on the glen once again. If some make a stand it will embolden others and that’s what the left/liberal/progs are terrified of.
