NY Post
A Greek sports TV commentator was canned Tuesday after making a shocking on-air comment about the shape of a South Korean Olympic athlete’s eyes.
The remark by Dimosthenis Karmiris, in reference to table tennis player Jeoung Young-sik, were deemed racist by ERT television, who subsequently cut ties with the veteran journalist. “Their eyes are narrow so I can’t understand how they can see the ball moving back and forth,” Karmiris said with a laugh when asked about the skill of South Korean table tennis players.More Related News
