FFS what the hell was he thinking? It's right out of the Blatter 'they should wear tight tops' school of thought

Love it how she responded by saying it didn't really bother her a jot as she was more high after winning the award

However there are thousands of people now feeling OUTRAGED on her behalf...and some bloke on the radio this morning absolutely apoplectic that she wasn't as OUTRAGED as she should have been.

Daily fail would have been proud.

Seriously WTF is a DJ doing handing out the Award ?... let alone the ridiculous comment.

They have hundreds of Awesome players at that event that could have done that.

Shambles... its like Blatter is still in charge.

To be fair, it is an outrageous thing to say to a professional athlete.

It's David Brent levels of cringe.

Yes - cue that reflexive moral panic that bubbles not far below the surface.

She doesn't have to be outraged at such an outrageous thing to say.
I'd hazard a guess she would be outraged if it were a friend/team-mate on the receiving end.

Hegerberg told BBC Sport she "didn't consider it sexual harassment".

"I was just happy to do the dance and win the Ballon d'Or to be honest. I will have a glass of champagne when I get back."

Her Lyon team-mate Lucy Bronze, an England defender and Ballon d'Or nominee, told BBC Sport it was "just a joke".

"The DJ asked each person that won what their dance was but she can twerk, she was lying," she added.

"It was more of a joke of making her dance."

Ballon D'or is not a FIFA event. They compete by having The Best awards in October, but it doesn't compare.

Despite being shared with FIFA between 2010-2015, it is now back in the sole possession of France Football (Magazine not FFF)
