Summary
West Sioux High School in Iowa has accepted an apology from two announcers who made an inappropriate comment about incest during a live broadcast of a state playoff soccer game. The announcers, David Fine and Ben Brackett, were calling the game for the Iowa High School Athletic Association when Brackett made the comment, which was met with complaints from the community. The IHSAA addressed the situation and apologized, and West Sioux has chosen to move on.
Our Reading
The comment arrives with a laugh.
A joke about incest gets a new name: “unprofessional.” Announcers get a new title: “apologetic.” The community gets a new feeling: “disappointed.” West Sioux gets a new season: “ended.”
The routine of sports broadcasting meets the new habit of apologizing for mistakes.
