Watch: Female reporter teaches vulgar football fans a lesson
Shauna Hunt films entire episode of being abused by onlookers
Toronto: A bunch of soccer fans (all youngsters) – who tried playing a prank on a female reporter outside the venue of a Toronto FC game – have been banned from attending football matches by Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment (MLSE).
Shauna Hunt, the journalist, was on air and in the middle of an interview when the bullies came and interrupted to continue the filthy trend of yelling “F – her right in the pussy”.
Much to the surprise of the men, Hunt retaliated and the entire incident was recorded.
“We’re appalled that this trend of disrespectful behaviour would make its way to our city, let alone anywhere near our stadium. We are working to identify the individuals, and when we do they will be banned from all of our facilities,” said MLSE in a statement.
On top of that, MLSE has promised to tighten security for female journalists.
“Moving forward, we will also work with our local television outlets to provide extra security support to female reporters doing live hits at any of our games,” said MLSE.

This is not the first time that the woman has been harassed by such bystanders and hence, she bursted out and asked them: “Why do you want to say something degrading to women on television?”
One fan replied: “We are not the only people. It has happened in England before.”
