Tokyo Olympics head Yoshiro Mori to resign over sexist remarks

Yoshiro Mori, president of the Tokyo Olympics organizing committee, is set to resign after facing backlash for sexist comments, Japanese media reported Thursday. The controversial comments by the 83-year old former prime minister at a Japanese Olympic Committee board meeting in the first week of February ignited a firestorm. “If we increase the number of female board members, we have to make sure their speaking time is restricted somewhat, they have difficulty finishing, which is annoying,” Mori said. “We have about seven women at the organizing committee but everyone understands their place,” he added. At a hastily called news conference on February 4, Mori attempted to retract his remarks.
