BBC Commentator’s Homophobic Remarks
A spokesperson from the BBC apologized on behalf of Paul Hand, tennis commentator. As the kisscam panned the crowd, Hand said, ‘Let’s hope they don’t go on to two blokes sat next to each other.’ Spectators reacted on twitter, asking the BBC to enlighten Hand, saying that it’s perfectly acceptable for two men to kiss. BBC said, ‘The comment was ill judged and we apologise to any of our viewers who were offended.’
