Emma Hayes went on a four-minute rant about male privilege after the Chelsea boss was asked about Joey Barton’s controversial comments on female pundits.
Barton shared a series of sexist posts on social media on Wednesday, claiming that women should ‘not be talking with any kind of authority’ about men’s football.
The Chelsea manager has worked as a pundit and co-commentator for ITV for both men and women’s football. Barton said in 2017 that he would like to see her ‘cross over into the men’s game’.
Hayes answered the question about Barton, without mentioning his name, in a four-minute monologue which included arguing that a good surgeon does not need to have been a good patient to perform operations.
