Adam Boulton has been accused of sexism after questioning the legitimacy of the Women's World Cup. Speaking on his show for Times Radio Drive, the journalist called the game a "random kick around" and appeared to not take it seriously. "Is it serious or is it just a kind of random kick around?" he asked. ‘Are you kidding me, are you asking if Women’s World Cup is serious?’ replied Kate Borsay while laughing, apparently in disbelief. Boulton said he was serious and Borsay replied that the footballers were all "professional athletes".
