Chinese Sportscaster Resigns Position Over Anti-Australia Rant
A Chinese Sportscaster for CCTV has resigned from Chinese Central Television (CCTV) because, he says, he needs a break.
When Italy beat Australia in a last minute penalty kick, the Chinese dude cried out "Long live Italy" and "I don’t like Australia."
Even after the game was over, the motor mouth kept on puttering…"I don’t care about the Australian team and don’t want to see Australia have good results in the World Cup."
The sportscaster says his busy schedule – 200 live games a year, too many public appearances and writing a book – were the reason he was quitting.
The newspapers are saying CCTV is unhappy with his foot in mouth slips.
CCTV issued an apology for the sportscaster saying his comments were out of line.
Wait till Australia and China meet up in the next soccer match. You can bet the Aussie coach will have a video of this guy to show his team so they can wonder what he is saying.
"It doesn’t matter. He just hates us. Let’s beat the Chinese team!" Though, for some reason, I think the Aussie coach will be more explicit than I.
America is not the only place where someone can lose a job for having their mouth speak when their brain is not engaged.
What do you think?
