Epic though Leotta’s clapback may be, it exposes the sadly all too frequent reality of street harassment suffered by women every day, especially women who are on the job and even more especially… female sports reporters.

All around the world, in every code, female journalists on the sports beat are subjected to appalling comments both on and off the field. Remember when Helen Skelton ‘flaunted her legs’ – by which we mean, she wore a skirt – at the Rio Olympics and social media had a meltdown? (This is how we feel about headlines stating that a woman “flaunted her legs” by wearing a skirt, by the way.)

Or, in 2016, when West Indies cricketer Chris Gayle told Australian reporter Mel McLaughlin not to “blush, baby” during a post-match interview. “I wanted to see your eyes for the first time,” he said. “Hopefully we can win this game and then we can have a drink after as well.” Gayle was fined £5,000 for his sexist remarks and was asked to apologise to McLaughlin, who was described as “angry and upset” by the incident.
