This football team shut down a sexist fan and people loved them for it

Hartlepool United may currently be in the fourth tier of English football. But their social media game is Champions League.

The club recently received this not very nice request on Twitter:

Any chance we can get women barred out of the players lounge please? Its a man's sport.

(Notice how hashtag doesn't make sense either).

But the club answered with the best response:

We could bar sexists instead if you like?

Fans were also quick to back the club up.

Well played.
