Football club violated law by barring female reporter from changing room
Our tax money at work:
Norwegian soccer champions Rosenborg Trondheim are violating sex equality laws by barring female journalists from the changing room, Norway's gender equality watchdog said on Wednesday.
"Women and men must have the same working rights," said Kristin Mile, Norway's official in charge of overseeing gender equality.
Rosenborg let male reporters into the changing rooms to talk to players after matches but keep women out.
"The practice is illegal unless Rosenborg have a very good reason to keep female journalists out of the changing room," she told Reuters.
Eh, no, can't think of any reason.
This case is so stupid it deserves the international attention it got.
