Danish TV channel apologizes for comparing monkey family to Moroccan footballers

A Danish television station apologized on Twitter over the weekend for airing derogatory comments comparing players on Morocco’s national football team and their families to a family of monkeys.

TV 2 NEWS host Christian Høgh Andersen attempted to transition from a story featuring images of Moroccan players hugging their mothers and celebrating after winning matches at the World Cup in Qatar to the next news segment about animals and how they gather together to keep warm by holding up a picture of monkeys.

“In continuation of the talk about Morocco (players) and their families in Qatar, we also have an animal family gathering to keep warm,” he said.

The station expressed its deep regret over the incident.

“We’re extremely sorry for the comments linking to the next program about animals. We apologize deeply for this,” said the tweet.
