James Haskell sends twitter into another meltdown

Love, like, or loath him, James Haskell has been a talking point of many players, pundits, and supporters alike over the past week.

Haskell came under scrutiny last week after telling female player Simi Pam to “have a day off” after a post on his page ‘The Good The Bad & The Rugby’ came under fire for not including members of the England women’s squad.

This led to a heated discussion on Twitter regarding the respect the women’s game was receiving.

Haskell then chose to release a three-minute video on his personal Instagram page explaining his comments and the reasons behind them.

Whilst most people in this situation may decide to take a bit of time away from the spotlight, Haskell has perhaps restoked the fire in a piece by the Telegraph released yesterday:

Twitter users were once again split on Haskell’s words. Detailing the effects of toxic femininity and cancel culture, Haskell remains adamant about his support for the women’s game.
