Hygerta Sako and the 3 panelists Ardi Behari, Gert Haxhiu and Klajdi Kola, on the RTSH sports show, "Super Gol", could not hold back their laughter after a player of African origin, who plays in Albania with Burrel's team, appeared on screen to be interviewed by the journalist.
The moment the player appears, laughter begins, which Hygerta Sako initially addresses because she "can't remember the player's difficult-to-pronounce name". The name, Arnold Kwaku Siaw, is pronounced Arnold Kuoku Sou and it doesn't seem like there's any major complication here. However, there's a reason why television programs have moderators, so that they can get to know the people they're going to have on their shows.
The interview ends quickly, the laughter continues to be barely contained, and Hygerta Sako adds at the end that she has no questions to ask the player because "she will not complicate the situation further with Gert Haxhiu and Ardi Behari's extremely complicated questions and jokes."
Okay, just when we thought it couldn't get any worse, Gert Haxhiu decides to tell us his complicated joke: "Thank you to RTSH for revealing [the player's portrait] at the last moment because it looked like the stories of those people who don't want to talk."
Wow Gerti! A black person on screen! Unprecedented! It's good that we can't tell you to eliminate the cultural shock you feel in such moments, but is it so necessary to add comments that show total ignorance and lack of respect behind?
In the end, Hygerta Sako tried to fix what she called her guest's "joke" by saying that "the RTSH LED was to blame", but too late. However, the show is broadcast live and it is understandable that it is not easy to maintain control at some moments. What is not understood is why the show is in full on YouTube, but without any cuts of this ugly moment.
Surely, the person who did the latter won't feel so good when they see that the moment has gone viral, and people are criticizing the behavior.
KF Burreli's Instagram page also reacted to the situation, writing:
"On a sports television show, a shameful act of bullying and mockery was committed against our player Siaw, who with professionalism and humility is honorably representing Burrel."
