"Dickes Sorry" by Sky after a rough Bundesliga carver on TV: "That hurts"

A gross blunder happened to Pay-TV broadcaster Sky before the 29th matchday. The name of a Bundesliga club went clearly in the pants.


A gross blunder happened to Pay-TV broadcaster Sky before the 29th matchday. The name of a Bundesliga club went clearly in the pants.

  • The Bundesliga * will also be full of excitement on the first weekend in June. 
  • The 29th matchday of the top German division * begins on Friday (June 5). 
  • TV broadcaster Sky, which does not broadcast the game SC Freiburg against Borussia Mönchengladbach, made a big mistake.

Freiburg - Anyone looking for synonyms to Bundesliga clubs * in sports reporting often uses geographic terms. Pay-TV broadcaster Sky  occasionally switches to FC Bayern München * at the Bundesliga * conference with the words: "Off to the Isar". Another example is the Weser in Bremen *, the Rhine in Cologne or the Elbe in Hamburg. 

Sky with bad luck: Friday evening game wrongly announced

Derbies also get their terms in this way. The district derby will be played by Borussia Dortmund and Schalke 04 twice a season. And if you watch the game SC Freibug against Borussia Mönchengladbach on Friday evening (June 5) , you will often hear "die Breisgauer" or "die Fohlen" for the guests, based on the 1970s. But a synonym has now clearly gone wrong and Sky has already apologized. 

Sky affords faux pas: SC Freiburg posts immediate reaction

Christian Streich's surprise club SC Freiburg is located in Baden-Württemberg. And there is a clear distinction between Baden and Swabians among the inhabitants. For each other, the wrong term would be an absolute no-go. Teasing is not excluded. 

However, Sky afforded a mega faux pas and announced at Sky Sport News HD that the  "Swabians" against Gladbach had to do without Manuel Gulde. However, the Freiburgers are "Badeners", which naturally led to outrage on Twitter. The club wrote: "It hurts". 

That hurts, @SkySportDE ...

Sky after Schnitzer with an apology

The TV station also noticed the mistake and apologized to the Badeners. And as the friendly club is like, he took the mishap sporty. On Twitter , they wrote: “Mistakes happen! But with 'Schwaben' we had to intervene ... ". Sky wrote: "Oh weia! Big sorry in the Breisgau! ". A very amusing and harmonious back and forth between broadcaster and club. 

Mistakes happen! But with "Schwaben" we just had to intervene https://t.co/0UodcAEFC6

Yes, it would be cold for some FC Bayern fans if someone called the record champions * "lions" or the BVB supporters suddenly belonged to the "squires". And if on Saturday Bayer 04 Leverkusen meets FC Bayern Munich * (at tz.de in the live ticker), then the ending should be observed extremely carefully with "Bayer against Bayern". 

For everyone who has subscribed to Sky, it will be round again in the stadiums * from the Elbe to the Isar from Saturday (conference in the live ticker of tz.de).
