一名知名法国电视主持人就此前批评一名足球明星弃世界杯参赛资格、回国陪伴妻子生产的言论致歉。
事件起因于比利时前锋热雷米·多库宣布计划飞往伦敦，陪伴妻子迎接两人首个孩子的降生。多库的缺席引发法国评论员弗朗斯·皮耶龙对其离队决定的批评。
皮耶龙在周五播出的电视节目《L’Equipe de Choc》中称分娩是“恶心的时刻，恕我直言，父亲在这时毫无用处”。这番言论引发广泛反弹，皮耶龙于周二公开致歉。
“这些言论仅代表我个人观点，绝不代表任何集体立场，”她在X平台上发文称，“我明白这些话可能让部分人感到震惊、冒犯或受伤，对此我深表歉意。”
她的雇主、法国体育日报《队报》随后发表声明，否认这些言论代表报社立场，并于周日晚间向多库致歉，称其言论违背了报社的价值观。
多库及时飞抵伦敦，见证了儿子普雷斯的降生。他在社交媒体上发文，感谢过去几天来自己和家人收到的善意留言。
“希琳和普雷斯情况都很好，我的心中充满感激，”多库说道，“迎接儿子来到这个世界，是上帝赐予我的最珍贵的祝福之一。感谢球队给予的支持，现在我要回归足球赛场，在这个最大的舞台上代表我的祖国出战。”
周一，比利时队长尤里·蒂莱曼斯公开支持多库，并表示他和其他球员都向多库表达了祝贺。
“我认为养育孩子是世界上最美好的事情，作为父母陪伴在旁，这完全合情合理，”蒂莱曼斯说道，“对我自己来说，我已经有三个孩子，那些陪伴的回忆是无可替代的。所以，我真的为他感到高兴。”
多库因呼吸道疾病缺席了比利时周日0-0战平伊朗的世界杯小组赛，但已获许飞往伦敦陪伴妻子。
比利时队将于周五在BC广场对阵新西兰队，这场比赛将决定“红魔”能否晋级淘汰赛。比利时队在前两场小组赛中均以平局收场。
TV host apologizes after she criticized soccer star for leaving World Cup for birth of his son: “The dad is useless”

A well-known French TV host has apologized after she criticized a soccer star’s decision to leave the World Cup to attend the birth of his first child.
The controversy started after Belgium forward Jérémy Doku announced that he planned to fly to London so he could be with his wife for the birth of their baby. Doku’s absence prompted a French commentator, France Pierron, to criticize the player’s intention to leave the World Cup.
She described childbirth as “a disgusting moment, excuse me, where the dad is useless” during an appearance on the television show “L’Equipe de Choc” on Friday. The comments drew widespread backlash and prompted an apology from Pierron on Tuesday.
“These remarks are solely my own and in no way reflect a collective position,” she posted on X. “I understand that they may have shocked, offended, or hurt some of you, and I am sorry for that.”

Her employer, French sports daily L’Equipe, disavowed the comments and also apologized to Doku in a statement late Sunday, saying the remarks did not represent its values.
Doku made it to London in time for the birth of his son, Praise. He posted on social media about his appreciation for the kind messages he and his family have received over the past few days.
“Shireen and Praise are doing great, and my heart is full of gratitude,” Doku said. “Welcoming my son into the world is one of the greatest blessings God has ever given me. Thank you to the team for the support, now it’s time to get back to football and represent my country on the biggest stage.”
On Monday, Belgium captain Youri Tielemans shared his support for Doku, and said he and other players congratulated him.
“I think having a child is the most beautiful thing in the world that you can have, and being there, it’s more than normal as a dad, as a mom, obviously,” Tielemans said. “But yeah, being there as a dad, for myself, I have three and it’s memories you can’t take back. So, yeah, very happy for him.”

Doku missed Belgium’s 0-0 World Cup draw against Iran on Sunday because of a respiratory illness, but was cleared to fly to London so he could be with his wife.
Belgium plays New Zealand on Friday at BC Place, a match that could determine whether the Red Devils advance into the knockout round. Belgium played to draws in each of its first two games.
