He did it with Udogie and Muani too. I don’t know how he managed that one.

Throw in Udogie too. Udogie fouled, and the commentator was saying it was RKM

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

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

7 game ban

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
