I read this in the Washington Times yesterday:
"Legendary BBC broadcaster Peter Alliss crossed the line twice during yesterday's telecast. When Chris DiMarco left his approach to the 14th short in the heavy rough, Alliss made a clumsy reach at humor with this insensitive remark: "Oooh, mum must have just nipped out for a cup of tea."
Later in the telecast, as Tiger Woods was preparing to clean up the championship on the 18th green, the camera panned to Woods' wife and sister-in-law (twins Elin and Josefin Nordegren), and Alliss remarked with glee: "[Tiger's] in for a bit of a treat tonight."
It's hard to believe the BBC is the same network that apologized to its audience for airing Tiger Woods' comments at the Masters where he claimed he putted like a "spaz."
Thanks for the update. Alliss fancies himself a comedian, it appears. Strange the WT missed his "Oriental" comment.
