Dean Jones, a commentator for Sri Lankan TV was fired after he called a South African batsman named Hashim Aslam a terrorist.
After bearded Amla, 23, caught Sri Lanka’s Kumar Sangakkara in the Second Test in Colombo, Jones was heard by millions of shocked viewers to exclaim `the terrorist has got another wicket’.
Ummmm… we’re not exactly sure what the first part of that sentence means but we’re pretty sure the second part is a no-no. Take Howard Cosell’s “Look at that little monkey go!” and multiply it by 10000x and that’s how offensive that was.
