The Perils of Sportscasting



So not only does some German sportscaster get hit in the head with a soccer ball, which everyone apparently loves (like a horrific car crash!) because the video of it is instantly all over the internet, but they turn it into a NEWS STORY and "report" on it as if it had ACTUAL MERIT! So for two and a half minutes of air time (a long time by tv standards), some guy asks this woman inane questions about getting hit in the head by a soccer ball (which has happened to her THREE TIMES, apparently!). Oh, and they show the "instant replay" of the incident like fifty times during the interview. Ridiculous!
