Italian Soccer Pundit Fired For Saying Romelu Lukaku Is To Feed Him 10 Bananas

Romelu Lukaku's arrival in Serie A, we've had a lot of fun, but striker Romain Lukaku's arrival in Serie A extra racist. Lukaku first endured monkey songs from Cagliari fans, then his own dumbass fans wrote him a letter explaining that those monkey songs were not actually racist. Now, he's inspired a doddering old pundit to get himself fired to make a joke about Lukaku and bananas.

The 80-year-old pundit, Luciano Passirani, was asked to analyze Lukaku's game during a show, and he had this to say Guardian):

Lukaku's impact for Inter so far joining the United States and Passirani said: "Lukaku is one of the best signings that Inter could have made. I do not see another player in Italy. He is one of the strongest, I like him a lot because he is the twin of [Dúvan] Zapata at Atalanta. "

He then added: "They have something extra that they do not have, and then they score the goals and drag your team forward. This guy kills you in the one-on-one, if you try to meet him on the floor. Either you have 10 bananas to eat, that you give to him, or … "

And here's video of the incident. Even if you do not know any Italian, you'll still be able to check it out, "bananas."

Later, the station's director on the air to apologize for Passirani's comments and tell viewers that he will be featured on the show. Hopefully the director has never thought of a great 80-year-old guy on TV to talk about anything.
