A rugby club apologized for a social media post that stated that an upcoming game “was not for girls”.
Neath RFC criticized a position later this month who advertised his match against Llangennech as “definitely not for girls”.
The post, now deleted, was accompanied by a graphics that also carried the slogan.
Neath plays in the Indigo Prime Ministry, the highest level of Welsh club rugby.
Labor -LP for Gower, Tonia Antoniazzi, said she wanted to see the post “with an excuse”.
“Disappointing a club with such great history and legacy that inspired so many women and girls to want to play,” she said.
In the meantime, former Wallis Rugby Union captain Siwan Lillicrap said it was “disgraceful and disgraceful”.
In a post on X Monday night, which has also been deleted since then, a club spokesman said: “Forget the sound. Forget the outrage. Let’s talk about real change.”
It was further said that his campaign was ‘designed to provoke debate’, but the club understood ‘that it may have caused confusion and upset for some’.
But in a further statement on Tuesday, the club owner Matty Young said he had “sincerely” apologized for any offense caused.
“That was never my intention and in no way reflects any attitudes within Neath RFC. I take full ownership as the club owner and author of Die Post,” he added.
‘The idea from the beginning was to make a light shine on the casual misogy that still exists in parts of rugby and, more importantly, to advocate the incredible women and girls rugby players who represent our club with passion, skill and dedication.
“I realize now that the initial post did not convey this message effectively, and for that I am sorry.”
In light of the reaction, Mr. Young said the club would delay the release of its proposed follow -up videos “to take the time to think, listen and ensure that we deliver the right message in a way that fully corresponds to our values.”
