You say they ask idiotic questions as if they just chanced upon a press conference and at a few seconds notice thought “I’m out of ideas I’ll ask about the war”. These aren’t hapless local radio hacks, they’re accredited journalists for our state broadcaster. In the current example a journalist has been flown around the world to virtue signal without due regard for the situation the Morocco captain is in.
At best she says nothing and avoids the trap. At worst she sets herself and teammates up for invasive scrutiny once they return home. Somewhere in the middle is a sitting on the fence answer viewed with suspicion at home and offends gays and lesbians because she can’t unequivocally stick up for their right to live and love as they please under the media spotlight.
All for a journalist who is happy to sacrifice a North African woman to virtue signal to people in London
