'Grow some tits' - Babel in shocking sexist outburst

The former Netherlands international lashed out a woman who questioned why he still had so much "hate" for former Liverpool boss Rafael Benitez.

Ryan Babel has caused a sexism storm by crassly mocking a female Twitter follower's body and insinuating women shouldn't talk about football.

The Dutchman posted a link to a story in which his former boss at Liverpool Rafael Benitez was quoted speaking out against critics accusing the Spanish coach of employing "defensive" tactics at Real Madrid and accompanied it with an apparently sarcastic: "Hmm."

One woman asked Babel why he seemed to still have so much "hate" for Benitez, prompting an angry, chauvinistic response from the 28-year-old winger.
