Oops, Delling's Gaffe at the Sports Bash
Say what now?
But the man seems to be a bit out of sync at the start, kicking off with two major whoopsies!
Delling mistakenly names the event and describes it as a sports press festival instead of a sports press ball.
The first fumble! And the second mishap is just around the corner.
During an interview with ex-German NFLers Markus Kuhn (37) and Sebastian Vollmer (39), he mixes up a football touchdown with a baseball home run.
A big no-no for the seasoned sports scribe that is Gerhard Delling.
By the way: Delling pockets a pretty penny for the shindig.
According to Bild, he banked a neat 10,000 euros for his MC gig, which mainly involved paying tribute to the three award winners.
- Despite being well-rewarded for his role, Frankfurt sports buffs were left underwhelmed by Delling's performance at the sports press fest in Frankfurt am Main.
- As a sports hub in the region, Frankfurt fans had expected higher precision and knowledge from Delling, particularly during his chat with ex-NFL stars Markus Kuhn and Sebastian Vollmer.
- Regardless of the financial incentive, Delling's sports blunders at the sports press event sparked demands for accountability and professionalism from celebrity hosts at Frankfurt's local events.
