Captain Smart Apologizes To All Female Sports Journalists

Onua FM/TV morning show host Captain Smart has expressed regret to female broadcasters who were hurt by his recent criticism of the Ghana Football Association (GFA) in response to the Black Stars' early exit from the 2022 FIFA World Cup.

The legendary broadcaster, whose true name is Blessed Godsbrain Smart, asserted that he is offering the apology out of “respect” for women generally and female sports broadcasters in particular.

His directness with the GFA on his rebuke was, in his words, “wise.” The hot-tempered TV/radio broadcaster chastised the Association for allowing female TV presenters to continue supporting the Black Stars.

On December 13th, Captain Smart declared on Maakye, “I selected my words well, so I didn't say “TV female sports presenters.” That's not what I said.

He claimed that the statement he made was in reference to female TV presenters, many of whom are currently on YouTube, and that some female sports presenters have made this issue into a “world cup,” but that “because of the respect I have for women… if you think you are hurt [as a female sports presenter],” he said.

Many journalists, particularly female journalists, were outraged by Captain Smart's comments, and the Ghana Journalists Association (GJA) demanded that he provide an unequivocal apology.
