What happened to the Beth Tweddle QandA was unbelievable. How anyone could ask such pathetic sexist questions or make such vile comments to a person is beyond me.

That was totally disgusting! Why do these lazy ignorant pigs feel they have the right to do that to someone? If I was related to any of these idiots or knew them in some way Id be extremely ashamed of them and would seriously consider dropping them from my circle of friends and family! How dare they!!

I agree, it's a totally stupid line of questioning.

Did you read the storify? I wouldn't even call that a line of questioning.

I think it's great that the twitter posts are shown often with the real name and photo of the imbecile that has shown their lack of class or intelligence.

It's amazing and sad that some (many ?) people think that social media gives them the opportunity to behave in a way that is totally abhorrent. I mean in what dimension do they think this behaviour is in any way acceptable ? Where's the accountability ? They make me sick.

imagine if a 'journalist" asked a bloke (insert name of sport bloke, I don't really know any off hand), how big he was and did it get in the way of the ball/bat etc.
