Lord Alan Sugar Immediately Proved Wrong On Viral Post About Women's Euros

Lord Alan Sugar was immediately shot down after he criticised the lack of male commentators on the Women's Euros.

There's a line on social media about how there's a main character every day and the aim is to not be that main character, and when news outlets are writing about your dumb tweet then you've probably lost that game.

Sugar was curious about the amount of women who were on the broadcast for the Euros, because, perhaps shockingly to him, women are often covering men's sport.

He took to Twitter to say, "I am watching the women football and notice that ALL the commentators are women," in a tweet that probably should have said "I'm just asking the question," or something equally as obnoxious.

"I also note when mens football is on there is a symbolic female commentator to cover the broadcasters arse. Should I complain there should me a male commentator in women's football."

However, during the very match he was watching, legendary commentator Jonathan Pearce was actually on comms for the evening.

And sure, maybe Lord Sugar was instead listening to the radio, where former Chelsea and Scotland forward Pat Nevin was helping describe the action.

Plenty of people were ready to call the Amstrad owner out on his nonsense, including BBC presenter Gabby Logan.

Of course, there were plenty of people defending Sugar, mainly on the basis that is was his 'opinion,' which isn't even true, he was giving facts, which weren't correct.

So at least before you comment 'he was right though,' remember that he wasn't.

It's not the first time that Sugar has been criticised for his social media posts, and you start to wonder where all the people who tell footballers to 'stick to football' are with him.

He was criticised in 2018 for a racist tweet that compared the Senegal World Cup squad to people selling things on the beach in Marbella.

A classy guys, clearly.
