NEVILLE APOLOGIZES FOR SEXIST TWEETS

Phil Neville apologized Wednesday for misogynistic and sexist comments he made on Twitter that have overshadowed his appointment as coach of England’s women’s national soccer team. In one post on his account, Neville wrote in 2011: “Relax, I’m back chilled- just battered the wife!!! Feel better now!” In another in 2012, Neville — asked why women would not be watching cricket on television — wrote he thought they would be “busy preparing breakfast/getting kids ready/making beds.”
