A routine World Cup discussion turned explosive after remarks about childbirth triggered a wider backlash and pulled Jeremy Doku's World Cup departure into the spotlight.
The debate escalated after French television presenter France Pierron described childbirth in a way that included the phrase 'disgusting moment' and suggested fathers are 'completely useless' during delivery. The comments were widely criticised online, with many viewers arguing the language was disrespectful to both parents and the experience of childbirth itself.
