Pundit laments ‘clickbait’ after controversial commentsIan Wright has long advocated for women’s gameEni Aluko has denied she “attacked” Ian Wright with her comments over his involvement as a pundit in women’s football.Speaking to BBC Radio 4’s Woman’s Hour this week, the former England forward discussed the risk of men blocking opportunities for female broadcasters in women’s football.
