[QUOTE="smartcooky, post: 453576, member: 20605"] Can't be as bad as the South African commentator... Andy Capostagno. Back in the late 1990's he referred to a Brian Lima tackle on Joost van der Westhuizen as a [I]"Coconut Tackle"[/I] [IMG]http://i116.photobucket.com/albums/o35/smartcooky99/my smileys/68.gif[/IMG] He later apologised to NZ TV audiences, but explained that he didn't understand the remark would offend because the word "Coconut" has no racial overtones in South Africa. Not sure how true that last bit is. [/QUOTE]
