COMMENTATOR Jon Champion has been rebuked by ESPN after branding Liverpool FC striker Luis Suarez a cheat live on air during the FA Cup tie against Mansfield Town.
Champion slammed the Uruguayan for the handball which referee Andre Marriner failed to spot prior to the Reds’ second goal.
He described it as “the work of a cheat”, which sparked an angry response from Reds fans.
In a statement ESPN said: “We take our responsibility to deliver the highest standards of coverage to our viewers.
“ESPN’s editorial policy is for commentators to be unbiased and honest, to call things as they see them.
“Inevitably this can involve treading a fine line on occasion, especially in the heat of the moment.
“Comments during the Mansfield v Liverpool match caused offence where none was intended and we have spoken to our commentator about this incident."
That rug really tied the room together.

Come on. The whole row erupted because Champion lost all sense of proportion. There's no need to follow suit..
Suppose you have a physicist and a sociologist standing at the side of a field, observing a set of events unfolding on the field. The physicist does [describes] it using the terminology of mass and velocity and frequency of radiation and the rest. And the sociologist does it by describing it as a rugby match.
May the Lord bless this post.

Don't like to see anyone lose their job but that cunt should have been fired for that.
