Paul Scholes Voices Frustration as Brendan Rodgers Faces Criticism for Sexist Comment

Paul Scholes expressed frustration and criticized the world in response to Brendan Rodgers being labeled a “a dinosaur” for his controversial comment to a BBC reporter. Rodgers faced backlash for dismissing a question and referring to the journalist as a “good girl.” Women’s charities condemned the Celtic boss for “casual sexism,” urging him to apologize.

Scholes posted his reaction on Instagram, emphasizing his discontent with the situation. The story unfolded after Rodgers’ dismissive response to a reporter’s inquiry about Celtic’s season. The Scottish Feminist Network deemed Rodgers’ attitude condescending while For Women Scotland called for an apology highlighting the persistence of casual sexism in sports.

Former footballer Tam McManus and broadcaster Jeff Stelling also criticized Rodgers. Celtic chose not to comment and the reporter Jane Lewis is reportedly unfazed by the incident.
