Ada Hegerberg, first female winner of football's prestigious Ballon d’Or, was asked to twerk onstage prompting widespread anger

Hegerberg, who is a vocal advocate for respecting women athletes, appeared disgusted by the bizarre question and responded to the host with a firm no as she proceeds to turn away from the camera
UPDATED DEC 4, 2018

Norwegian soccer player Ada Hegerberg made history on Monday when she became the first woman to receive the Ballon d’Or, a prestigious award which honors the best soccer players in the world. However, it wasn't long before the trailblazer's precious moment was soured by a downright insulting question from one of the award ceremony's hosts, DJ Martin Solveig, who asked her if she could twerk?

Hegerberg, who is a vocal advocate for respecting women athletes, appeared disgusted by the bizarre question and responded to the host with a firm "no" as she proceeded to turn away from the camera, before reluctantly agreeing to dance to another song with main host David Ginola.
