Belgians cheer on their national football team
BELGIUM’S football federation said today, on International Women’s Day, that it refused to be held “hostage” by women who objected to its selection of an artist who has used vile sexist lyrics to write the country’s official World Cup song.
The federation said it would stick with Damso, a man known for lacing his songs with misogynistic and obscene lyrics, saying that his tune would unify the country.
The team’s sponsors, however, said they would consult on whether it is wise to keep the rapper.
