A TV commentator in Belgium has landed himself in trouble after he described a soccer player as a 'fat pig' on live TV.
Harlem Gnohere, who plays for Charleroi, has demanded a public apology and damages for the comment made by Stephane Pauwels at the weekend.
According to metro.co.uk, Pauwels told viewers during Charleroi's 2-1 defeat by KV Kortrijk that Gnohere was 'too heavy.'
Gnohere is commonly know as Bison.
Pauwels said that Bison is fat as a pig, adding that he is 15 kilograms too heavy and he's going nowhere.'
According to the report, Pauwels has since been in contact with the club to offer his apologies.
Gnohere, however, has demanded that Pauwels makes the apology in public and is seeking advice from his lawyer.
