LONDON (Reuters) - British tennis player Andy Murray broke into social networking on Tuesday because of the question asked by Aldi Ji-Martin Solvig to Golden Ball winner Ada Heggergg for the best player on whether she could perform a Tuerk dance.
Murray, known for his defense of equality in sports, described what happened as "another example of the absurd sexual intolerance that still exists in the world of sport."
"What are the questions that have been asked to Mbaby and Mudritic? I think it was related to football ... To all the people who think we are exaggerating and it was a joke, I tell them," the tennis player wrote through his Social Engram account. It was not. "
"I'm in the world of sports all my life and the level of sexual intolerance is incredible," Murray said.
Solvig later apologized to Ada Heggergg, the three-time European Champions League winner who became the first female player to win the women's gold medal.
