Babel in sexism controversy

Al Ain forward Ryan Babel has put himself at the centre of a sexism controversy after Twitter posts on Friday.

The former Liverpool man, 28, hit out at a user who questioned why he disliked Real Madrid coach Rafael Benitez.

In response, Babel tweeted: “I think u should concentrate on growing some tits instead of speaking about football… Ur a girl.. Stay in ur lane..”

The Dutchman continued: “Atleast let your brother or your boyfriend make the comment then we can argue…

“Not gonna argue with a lil girl, with all the respect.. C’mon now.”

Babel was fined £10,000 by the Football Association in 2011 after posting a mocked-up picture of referee Howard Webb wearing a Manchester United shirt following a Liverpool loss.
