An award-winning California news reporter faced backlash for her “insensitive” comments towards Bosnia-Herzegovina during her World Cup coverage, forcing her to apologize for taking the joke “too far.”

quote:

The next round, Team USA will play Bosnia next Wednesday and one thing about Bosnia, I could not point out where it is on a map,” Velez quipped. “I don’t know the first thing about Bosnia and I don’t want to know because Team USA, we’re back, we’re better than ever.”

quote:

Velez apologized on Saturday for “poor effort to have a little fun,” explaining the segment was supposed to be a light-hearted report that got out of hand.

Some absolute baby back bitches crying over this on social media. I’ve seen some Bosnians saying it’s downplaying genocide and ignoring their suffering. Thought Slavs were supposed to be tough?

Hope we drop 4 goals on Bosnia and another 4 on Herzegovina.

Also, wood.

In her defense, the borders and names of countries in that region change every decade or so.


Let's just go back to everybody calling them Yugoslavia.

“Nobody coddles us because of what happened in our past, they’re (insert cause)-ist!”

Europeans will never know the struggle of having to use valuable memory space to nail the New England portion of a Sporcle Quiz

If there is one thing I know about Bosnians- it’s that they aren’t soft

Is it actual Bosnians that are upset.
Or white women offended on Bosnians behalf.

Don't you find it a little unfair the US is the only team in the knockout stage that has to face two countries at once?

They are Bosnia And Herzegovina. Weird to have “and” in a country’s name. But it ended conflict. Maybe we can rename Israel to Israel And Palestine.

The former Yugoslavia is one of the most fascinating places I’ve ever visited, and I’ve been to about 60 countries.

One thing I’ve learned about the place: They don’t get offended by much, except the Serbians.

Seems like hating Serbians is the one thing most of the other countries in the region can agree on.

The first guess is just random, then after that it gives you distance from the country. Then it becomes a strategy of guessing based off distance.

Still can’t pick Bosnia out on a map, but hopefully their pilot knows where to land their plane home.
