This will probably get moved, but I'll give it a try...
Anyone else HERE IN THAILAND watch the Guinness Nine Ball Tournament broadcast on Star Sports to everyone IN THAILAND?
During the final match played in Singapore today (but broadcast here in THAILAND), one of the announcers completely out of the blue says:
I have to tell you Bob, he [Yang Ching Shun from Taipei] seems rather effeminate.
Bob, the other announcer, didn't respond. Probably visions of sponsors' reactions running through his mind.
I suppose it wasn't specifically homophobic, but it's hard to imagine what else he was trying to imply. I suppose if he said the guy look rather Jewish or that he looked rather handicapped, all hell would have erupted.
