Dick Enberg Should Apologise – US Open 2009 Men’s Finals Award Ceremony
On one hand we were happy that the well deserved champ Del Potro had won the US Open 2009 Mens Title and on the other I was really pissed off by Dick Enberg. This happened at the US Open 2009 Mens Finals Award Ceremony. Dick Enberg was the master of ceremony and he kept blabbering unnecessary stuff for quite some time. During the ceremony he asked Roger Federer to talk a few words about this finals and his matches throughout the US Open 2009. Then was Del Potro’s turn and he spoke slowly and very little in english. Del Potro requested Dick Enberg that he wants to talk in spanish and the reply was ” We are running out of time”. Del Potro didn’t give up on it and asked again and Dick Enberg said Del Potro wants to say “A few quick words in Spanish”. WTF
This was very disrespectful on part of Dick Enberg. Really disgusting.. pathetic.. In an award ceremony winners and the runners up are the ones who should speak and not the master of ceremony himself. WTF.. How can they not have time for the winners to speak? This is the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard. More >
