Spanish TV station fires pundit German Burgos for comment about Barcelona’s Lamine Yamal

Spanish TV pundit Germán Burgos has been fired from his job with Movistar+ after a pretty vile comment about Barcelona starlet Lamine Yamal.

Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain players refused to speak to the television station after the game at the Parc des Princes because of his comment.

Burgos had said before the game: “If [professional football] doesn’t go well for him, he could end up at a traffic light”.

The comment relates to people who perform or offer to sell things to drivers for money at traffic lights and sparked controversy for being racist and classist.
