KHL TV chief Dmitry Fedorov told that the French striker “Motorist” Stephan DaCosta must apologize to the employee of the television channel who suffered from the actions of the hockey player.
Tuesday in the game “Love” — “Motorist” (3:2) During a timeout in the final minutes, Da Costa punched the cameraman who went onto the ice with a camera and swore obscenely during the live broadcast.
– Disputes between the press and the players are a normal thing. But in this case there was also a knock on the camera, that is, Da Costa could hurt the cameraman. It’s unpleasant and makes the incident special. In my opinion, Da Costa should apologize to the television employee. And not on social networks or on the Avtomobilist site, but in person, by calling a person. So say, “I’m sorry, I was overwhelmed with emotions at that time.”
You have to understand that now in TV shows the presence effect is needed. Skating operators go to the venue before the start of the game and during breaks it happens that before the game they go to the motivational facility and after the game they meet in the locker room. Taking a timeout next to hockey players is normal. Players must be ready for this. And if something does not suit you, you can always politely warn. But don’t let go.
In general, I wouldn’t inflate this story, but Da Costa has to understand that players and TV do one thing in common, Fedorov told .
On Thursday, Avtomobilist will play another match in Khabarovsk, with the same TV crew working there.
