Haywire ESPN subtitles label sports presenters as ‘paedophiles’
Two unfortunate sports presenters have been labelled as ‘paedophiles’ by wayward subtitling software whilst overseeing ESPN’s UK coverage of the Gold Cup final in Chicago.
The incident took place as the commentary team were about to sign off their coverage of the United States vs Panama square off.
Instead of saying ‘That’s it from the pair of us’ however the automated subtitle program inexplicably churned out ‘That’s it from the paedophiles’, prompting wry amusement from hard of hearing viewers.
The faux pas soon went viral on the net but ESPN were swift to remove videos footage of the incident on the grounds of copyright infringements.
