Nekoč odličen nogometaš Rafael van der Vaart se ni proslavil v vlogi televizijskega komentatorja.
Nekdanji nizozemski nogometaš Rafael van der Vaart se je opravičil za diskriminatorno izjavo, ki jo je v vlogi televizijskega sokomentatorja dal ob tekmi letošnjega SP med Nizozemsko in Japonsko (2:2), poročajo agencije.
Van der Vaart je ob drugem golu Japonske nerodno komentiral, da vsi Japonci izgledajo enako in na ta način skušal pojasniti, zakaj je nizozemski obrambi ušel Daichi Kamada , ki je nato izenačil izid.
Van der Vaart je tako nato pojasnil, da gre za šalo, a hitro je ugotovil, da je bila ta neprimerna ter dodal: " Strah me je karkoli dodati. " Danes je nato javno dejal, da v njegovih besedah " ni bilo rasističnega ali diskriminatornega namena ", je poročal The Athletic .
