  1. Yeah, they had a close up of the back of Muani’s shirt immediately after but he didn’t correct himself.

  2. If one pays attention, this is a very common problem with commentators in the English speaking world; black players get confused for each other sooooo much more often.

    There’s actually some interesting sociological research to suggest that people are better at distinguishing minute feature differences amongst people who look more like themselves; which I would say intrinsically makes some sense if we’re honest

    **BUT THE PLAYERS ARE WEARING FUCKING NUMBERS ON THEIR SHORTS AND BACK FOR THIS EXACT REASON**

    There’s genuinely no excuse

    Completely shameless about it too. He only corrected himself once, near the end of the game with no apology

  4. Pretty terrible. And no attempt at accountability or improvement, just moving on to the next call.

    Need Black folks in the broadcast booths.

    He even tried to claim Udogie was also confused by it to style it out at one point. Sackable imo

    We was calling players the wrong name constantly, never even bothered correcting it

    All of that plus when they cut to Toby in the stands and he butchered Alderweireld, like come on man.

    My wife and daughter were rolling laughing at the number of times I said, “That’s the wrong black guy” watching the game today
