"Lukaku is a little n****" The journalist Luigi Furini said on the occasion of one of Telelombardia's in-depth football broadcasts. Furini himself was immediately ejected from the broadcast after a few minutes, also for his resistance to apologizing. An expression with a racist background that the director of Telelombardia Fabio Ravezzani immediately condemned both live and on his twitter profile: "You don't joke about words with a racist background (regardless of etymology). We do not accept mistakes or misunderstandings. And a belated apology is not enough. I'm sorry that a colleague like Furini made such a serious mistake. Immediate measures are inevitable," director Fabio Ravezzani said on Twitter.
Words with a racist background are no joke (regardless of etymology). We do not accept mistakes or misunderstandings. And a belated apology is not enough. I'm sorry that a colleague like Furini made such a serious mistake. Immediate action is inevitable.
Wow, hats off to the director for such a swift and appropriate response.
