Sky Sports' social media accounts released clips of the segment as well as other posts about his presence at Craven Cottage.

The content removal reportedly comes after Sky Sports management was made aware of misogynistic comments made by the streamer in the past. However, the organization has not made any official comments about its decision.

The YouTuber decided to take another shot by watching Manchester United's Premier League clash against Fulham on Sunday. However, Ronaldo was once again not included in the squad.
