Shea Given apologized for the comparison to the Holocaust on BBC: what happened.

Apology for inappropriate comparison

According to The Sun: BBC and Shea Given have apologized for the expert describing Wilfried Nancy's month at Celtic as an 'absolute Holocaust'. The former goalkeeper of Newcastle and Manchester City made this comparison on air, likening Nancy's tenure to the mass genocide during World War II in which over six million Jews were killed by Nazi Germany.

'This is an absolute Holocaust that's happening,' he said on air.

These words caused considerable resonance and outrage, prompting Shea Given and BBC to publicly apologize for their statements.

This incident underscores the importance of responsible broadcasting, especially when it comes to sensitive topics related to history and human tragedies. It is essential to remember the context in which analogies are used and to avoid unwarranted comparisons that can cause pain and misunderstandings.
