The article discusses criticism directed at NRK (Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation) for a commentator's phrasing during a World Cup match report. The commentator, Ole Rolfsrud, referred to Antonio Nusa’s goal as 'skuddene i Dallas,' a phrase typically associated with the assassination of U.S. President John F. Kennedy in 1963. This led to backlash from viewers and experts like Lasse Hallberg, who called the comparison inappropriate and questioned the lack of context. TV 2 journalist Davy Wathne also criticized the remark as insensitive, emphasizing the historical significance of the Kennedy assassination. NRK acknowledged the wording was unfortunate but stated they had not received formal complaints.
