The BBC felt compelled to issue a press statement which read: “We apologize if any viewers were offended by our live coverage of football this evening. We are investigating how this happened.”
Shortly after this, Youtuber and scammer Jarvo69 took up the incident and shared a video on his channels of how he handled the matter.
