Former Manchester United footballer Ryan Giggs stirred controversy on March 8 by posting a promotional video for the online casino F168 on his Instagram account. The casino targets Vietnamese players and Giggs encouraged women to celebrate International Women's Day by playing on the operator's site. The post was made in both English and Vietnamese.
The publication has sparked sharp criticism in British media. Giggs has previously faced allegations of violence against his former partner and her sister; however, the case was dropped after the victim refused to testify at a retrial.
