ESPN Analyst Apologizes for Saying ‘That’s What Makes America Great’ During WNBA Broadcast​


View attachment 750681
In perhaps the most ESPN move of all time, an analyst has apologized for saying, “That’s what makes America great,” during a WNBA broadcast over the weekend.

The moment occurred during Sunday’s broadcast of the Fever-Aces game in Las Vegas, when ESPN analyst and WNBA legend Rebecca Lobo discussed the freedom to disagree while commenting on a call with which she disagreed with an official.

“They disagree with you,” play-by-play announcer Pam Ward said to Lobo after officials reviewed a call and came to the opposite conclusion.

“They do, and I disagree with them,” Lobo responded. “And that’s fine. That’s what makes America great, right, Pam Ward?”

That comment was a supreme no-no, apparently. After a prolonged and awkward silence, Lobo said, “I should rephrase that.”

Ward responded, “Yes.”

She should apologize. Nothing about the WNBA is 'great'.
 
what paperwork wasn't in order?
Not sure. The Norwegian government said that all international travelers were to have all their paperwork in order..and then have said nothing else..you'd think they be upset if he was truly denied for that reason.

Edit:: he also said he didn't contact his Minister of foreign affairs...because "there wasnt any point" we don't have the full story

Mathias Rongved, a communications advisor at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (UD), responded to Mikkelsen’s case:

> “Most trips to the U.S. go smoothly without particular issues. Entry regulations can change on short notice, and it is the traveler’s responsibility to have valid documentation and be familiar with current entry rules.
