Tottenham Hotspur apologise for sexist survey question

Representational picture

Tottenham have apologised for a "wholly unacceptable" question asking whether "a woman's place is in the home" that found its way into a survey sent to fans in the United States. Posts on social media emerged from supporters of the Premier League club in America revealing they had received a club email with the subject heading, 'Calling all US Spurs fans: tell us what you think'.

One of the statements presented read: 'A woman's place is in the home". Below were the options, definitely agree, tend to agree, neither agree nor disagree, tend to disagree and definitely disagree.

In a club statement issued late on Tuesday, a spokesman for Tottenham confirmed the question had been swiftly removed once the "regrettable oversight" was discovered. "The survey questions were compiled by a third party on behalf of the club. The inclusion of this question in a club survey was wholly unacceptable," the spokesman said.
