They obviously wouldn’t ask all the (male) Premier League captain to out their team-mates when statistically there must be dozens of players who are gay. Similarly they wouldn’t ask them to incriminate themselves in any other crime.
This comes after a summer confusing Russians and Belorussian tennis players asking them to condemn the regimes there and risk their families at home.
When will the western liberal elite realise it’s not their job to co-opt others, risking their jobs, reputations and at worst their lives for ideals they may not hold and if they do may not seek to verbalise. Would the journalists be willing to swap places?

Utterly inappropriate questions and as you pertinently say, would the journalist concerned want to be asked such a question? Suspect it might be trying to fill the time due to a lack of knowledge of women's football.
