‘No need to bring religion into sport’

Olympian Chloe Magee has said there was no need for RTÉ sports anchor Bill O’Herlihy to bring religion into her sport.

The veteran commentator stunned millions of viewers when he claimed that he thought badminton was a “mainly Protestant” sport.

Mr O’Herlihy’s comments took the shine off the Co Donegal woman’s victory over Egyptian competitor Hadia Hosny.
