Narrador Televisivo Lanzó Comentario Racista Para Explicar La Expulsión De Ángel Di María

Manchester City no le dio esperanzas al PSG y lo derrotó por 2-0 para convertirse en el primer finalista de la Champions League 2020-21. La idea era hablar de los goles de Riyad Mahrez o el maravilloso pase de Ederson en la apertura de la cuenta. Sin embargo, en vez de eso, aquí estamos hablando de Jim Beglin, narrador de la transmisión en inglés de CBS y quien al explicar la expulsión del argentino Ángel di María, por una patadita infantil a Fernandinho en el minuto 69, no encontró nada mejor que decir que la tarjeta roja se debía a "ese temperamento latino".

Announcer Makes Racist Comment On Live TV After Di María’s Boneheaded Red Card

Prior to Tuesday, Ángel Di María had played 741 matches for club and country, receiving all of four straight red cards and 80 yellow cards. No one would ever say Di María is a hothead or has a habit of committing bad fouls — even Lionel Messi has more yellow cards in his career. So it makes the racist comment CBS announcer Jim Beglin said after the Di María red card all the more baffling. 

NWSL Announcers Really Need To Fucking Stop Misgendering Athletes

OL Reign beat the Chicago Red Stars 3-2 in one of the more entertaining NWSL Challenge Cup games of the year on Tuesday night. Tziarra King had an assist and scored the late winner, further cementing her as my second favorite NWSL player (just behind of my fellow Aggie Shea Groom). 

But what stood out more than King’s heroics or Mal Pugh’s first goal since 2019 was the continued misgendering of Reign midfielder Quinn by NWSL announcers. It was made all the worse by the announcers making damn sure they used the correct surnames for recently married players.

New Women’s Champions League Format Promises More Games, Visibility And Money

Back in December of 2019, UEFA revealed its plans for a revamped Women’s Champions League beginning with the 2021-22 season. After a brief nightmare concerning the ramifications of the harebrained European Super League on the women’s game, we can now get back to celebrating the changes that were approved by UEFA’s Executive Committee last week.

MLS Delivers Most Accessible Season Ever With 100+ Games On National TV

USWNT Looked Good Beating France, But That Audio Delay On ESPN Was Awful

ESPN announcers Julie Foudy and Sebastian Salazar talked a lot about the fact the pitch-side mics were clearly picking up everything USWNT coach Vlatko Andonovski was saying during his team’s friendly against France on Tuesday. The audio was certainly interesting, but more so because of a faulty output from ESPN than any tidbits gleaned from a coach yelling at his players.

X-Men And Adidas Collaborate On The Wildest Looking Cleats Of The Year

“Nature made me a freak. Man made me a weapon. And God made it last too long,” Wolverine once said ... and that was before he even knew his strengths would be combined with a mutated adidas Predator Freak to from the ultimate soccer armament.

You Heard The Promos, Now Hear CBS Basketball Announcers Show Just How Much They Care About Champions League

I spent a fair amount of time over the past month watching a sport other than soccer. The men’s and women’s NCAA basketball tournaments returned from a year hiatus and produced thrilling competitions, with the Stanford women and Baylor men claiming the titles. Soccer fans who watched the tourneys will have noticed two things: The repeated use of FIFA songs in commercials/promos and basketball announcers pretending to know what they’re talking about while plugging the Champions League on Paramount+.
