Lacombe may be popular with the Lyon faithful, but he is now unpopular with around 50 percent of the world's population, having made an extremely sexist comment during a show on French talk radio station RMC on Monday. Fielding a call from a female listener criticizing former OL star Karim Benzema, Reuters quote Lacombe's dismissive response:
"I do not discuss football with women, that's how I see it. They should get back to cooking."

Soccer is a girl's game anyway. What is the problem?

How do you come to the conclusion that soccer is a girl's sport?

That's just American culture. What makes baseball a manly game anyway? It requires far less physical fitness, endurance, stamina than soccer.

It is 2013. Cavemen like this guy should join the rest of us in the age of the liberated woman.

Women should play it as well. Instead they are relegated to softball.

Women can play any sport, even football. But in just about every sport, the best woman/women's team will be far worse than the best man/men's team. No different for soccer. On top of that soccer fan's are the most devoted on earth.

You'd be surprised how many women actually have little interest in partaking in the rat race and if able would stay home.
