FIFA revokes commentator's credentials after on-air crash-out for the ages over player's ejection

Wait 5 sec.

FIFA has revoked the credentials of a Paraguayan soccer commentator who went on a wild, expletive-filled tirade while calling a game.According to The Athletic, Jorge Chipi Vera was calling games for ABC Carnival and ABC TV and was calling Paraguay's match against Turkiye.Paraguay won that match 1-0, but it was notable because Paraguay's Miguel Almirón became the first player to get the ol' heave-ho for violating FIFA's new rule about covering one's mouth.WATCH THE WORLD CUP FINAL ON FOX ONEIt's a rule that's kind of ridiculous with more than its share of obvious flaws, and I think Jorge Chipi Vera would agree with me on that.WORLD CUP PLAYERS WHO COVER THEIR MOUTHS DURING CONFRONTATIONS COULD GET RED CARDSWhen Almirón got sent off, Vera went off.There's a good chance you don't speak Spanish (nor do I; four years in high school and a year in college, and the best I can do is order a beer and ask where the kitchen is), so fortunately, others have translated.FOX ONE’S NEW WORLD CUP VIEWING EXPERIENCEVera called FIFA President Gianni Infantino and match referee Ivan Baton "f--king thieves" and said that they were "killing football."That alone is going to get a little heat, but Vera then tacked on 20 "sons of b----hes."Twenty.Does it count as a fleeting expletive if you do it that many times?ZERO BS. JUST DAKICH. TAKE THE DON'T @ ME PODCAST ON THE ROAD. DOWNLOAD NOW!Probably not, but whatever the case, Vera released an apology for his comments."During the broadcast of the match between Paraguay and Turkiye, I had an outburst," the broadcaster said (as translated by The Athletic). "In the midst of my frustration over the expulsion of a player from my country, and feeling that my national team was being harmed, I used offensive and unacceptable expressions against the referee, FIFA, and its authorities."In fairness, a lot of people say stuff like that when they feel like their favorite team has been wronged.The only difference is they're not normally behind a mic broadcasting to millions.
