This video of men reading sexist tweets to female sports reporters is creating a big stir online

It’s very hard to watch.

USUALLY, THE VERY concept of “mean tweets” being read out on telly is confined to celebrities doing it on Jimmy Kimmel.

But this week the Just Not Sports YouTube channel got male sport reporters to read out some sexist tweets written about their female colleagues.

And it’s blown up

Just Not Sports / YouTube

The longer the video goes on, the worse the insults get.

The two female reporters have seen the tweets before they started recording

But their colleagues hadn’t

“There’s a lot of c-words,” says one.

The #MoreThanMean hashtag has started on the back of it

And it’s been viewed over 500,000 times in just over 24 hours

    It turned out one of them only married him in the hopes of getting his body after his death, presumably to make money from it. He was supposedly left heartbroken as a result of this.

    If those murders were committed in Ireland he probably wouldn’t have spent a day in jail as he was never present at any of the murders.. Manson himself was neglected and abused as a child, he was placed in a childs detention center from his early teens and was sexually abused from around the same age.. To be fair he never got a start in life and considering he was never present at any of the murders I’d say he would have got off scot free over here..

    He wasn’t present at the tate murders and the next murder. It’s untrue to say he wasnt present at other murders.

    @Mr Snuffleupagus: He plays guitar.

    It is frightening to see the kind of women that are attracted to him. The original Mason Family had would seemed like normal well educated people. Particularly gorgeous women in the Mason Family he used to get into places, a lot of dark people out there.

    @prop joe: yeah but the manson girls were very very young and he was in his 40′s and filling them with LSD and bulls*it…and i doubt he was taking any himself. A master manipulator and bad bad man. Doris Tate will be disappointed he will die of old age.
