A reporter at the
FIFA Women’s World Cup has come under fire over a provocative question asked of Morocco's captain and coach during a press conference.
Moroccan captain Ghizlane Chebbak fronted the media ahead of her nation's first-ever Women's World Cup match,
Monday's clash against Germany, and was stunned by a question from one of the BBC reporters on hand.
"We know that gay marriage is illegal (in Morocco). Are there any gay players in the team, and what is it like for them?" the reporter asked.
The question was quickly shut down by a FIFA moderator, who promptly told reporters to steer clear of anything political.
