A Fox Sports reporter deleted his promotional video from social media after it caught the attention of an Arab News reporter during ongoing FIFA World Cup matches in Qatar. 

According to Arab News, American sportswriter Jenny Taft entered the field. He has poked fun at gender segregated streets and security checkpoints on his TikTok account. 

Jenny Taft expressed disgust at her face in this video and said that in Qatar I had to walk through the gate of a woman I didn't like. 

The correspondent of Arab News Lama Al-Hamwi paid attention to the style of the journalist Regina Taft and forced the American correspondent to remove this offensive video. I have traveled to different countries, but here I would like to give you some advice as fellow journalists. 

It is our responsibility as journalists to do our due diligence to fully understand and research the subject before spreading any biased information, misinformation or rhetoric. 


Now let's talk about the Qatar FIFA World Cup women's entrance gate that you pointed out...so that's one word that completely describes the specific entrance. It is a matter of respect for their religious beliefs. Women don't want to go through the mixed gate and neither do men. It's about respecting religious beliefs and boundaries when entering a country. . 


In her video message, Lama said that now, judging by the way you have shown your video and expressed your views, this is a word unknown to you and perhaps familiar to you. I don't understand at all. 

A social media user commented on how the Arab News journalist explained how he thanks the Lama for positively raising the issue and responding to it in the best way possible. 

Another user wrote: "What you said thank you for bringing everyone up in such an honest way." Your video has been removed from media.

Another user wrote Animals like an environment with animals like sheep and goats.
