Italian Football Analyst Sacked For Racially Abusing Romelu Lukaku On TV

An Italian television station has dismissed one of its pundits again after he made a racist comment about Inter Milan striker Romelu Lukaku.

Speaking on TopCalcio24 on Sunday, Luciano Passirani said of the former Chelsea, Everton and Manchester United striker:

If you go one-on-one with him he will murder you. The only way to come up against him is maybe to give him 10 bananas to eat…

The TV station’s programme director Fabio Ravezzani said:

Mr Passirani is 80 years old and to compliment Lukaku he used a metaphor that turned out to be racist.

I think it was a terrible lack of momentary lucidity. I cannot tolerate any kind of errors, even if momentary.

Lukaku was recently subjected to monkey chants by Cagliari fans when he scored a penalty for his side in a 2-1 victory. The fans defended their actions, denying that they were racists.
