Nigeria vs Iceland: beIN Sports tenders apology for racially abusing Ndidi during Super Eagles win
TV broadcaster, beIN Sport, has issed an apology after one of their commentators was accused of racism during Nigeria’s 2-0 win over Iceland on Friday.
Pundit Gregory Paisley, a former Paris Saint-Germain defender, was working for the channel during the match.
When talking about Super Eagles midfielder, Wilfred Ndidi, he said the player “should take Banania”, a chocolate drink which has connotations of colonialism and French imperialism.
A statement from beIN read: “BeIN SPORTS regrets that some of the comments that were [broadcast] during the Nigeria-Iceland match may have been judged offensive by some of you.
“[We] apologise to all the people who felt hurt and offended.”
