ISL Coach Fired For ‘Unacceptable’ Rape Comments
Indian Super League (ISL) side Odisha have sacked head coach Stuart Baxter for making "unacceptable" comments referencing rape in a post-match interview.
Baxter, who was previously South Africa's head coach, said after his team's 1-0 defeat by Jamshedpur on Monday that one of his players "would have to rape someone or get raped himself if he was going to get a penalty."
Odisha issued an apology on Monday, saying they were "appalled at the comments", which were "completely unacceptable whatever the context."
