Belgian FA defends decision to hire misogynist to write World Cup anthem

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 team’s sponsors, however, said they would consult on whether it is wise to keep the rapper.
