Live broadcasts have certain advantages, but also certain disadvantages and we sometimes end up with situations that are embarrassing to say the least. This is exactly what happened to the RMC journalist Daniel Riolo last night on his show After Football, devoted mainly to football news. Known for not having his tongue in his pocket, Géraldine Maillet’s companion is often the source of controversy and he even saw Twitter suspend his account a few weeks ago. An attitude that pleases a lot of listeners, but also annoys some.
Recently, the 52-year-old journalist attacked the youngsters of the France team after a disastrous match where the under-18s took numerous red cards. “These are good shitty attitudes and little scum. (…) They are children who grow up in France and given the state of our society and authority in this country… It does not surprise me not“, he let go, arousing strong reactions. Despite this, it happens that certain programs take place without any controversy and this was the case last night, at least until Daniel Riolo saw the jersey worn by the Sochaux team during their match against Saint-Étienne. “What is this ridiculous pink jersey, Sochaux no longer has a yellow jersey?“he asks the journalist responsible for following the meeting.
Daniel Riolo quickly realizes his mistake and apologizes
Small moment of hesitation before the journalist explains the reason for this choice of color to Daniel Riolo. “So ridiculous, yes and no because it’s for Pink Octoberit is a nationwide operation“, he explains. Indeed, throughout the month of October, a breast cancer screening awareness campaign is carried out through various communications operations such as this. “Oh sorry, okay. Excuse me. Sorry, sorry, sorry“, reacted quickly to the one who shares the life of Géraldine Maillet following his big blunder, before admitting that he had not made the link with this operation. “It’s good, I picked up the ends“, he concludes, visibly sorry for his very unwelcome intervention.
