Sky commentator Jörg Dahlmann has apologized for his condescending remark about Sophia Thomalla.

The 61-year-old commented on the DFB Cup game between Bundesliga club 1. FC Union Berlin and second division SC Paderborn (2: 3) on Tuesday evening.

In the game there was the debut of Union goalkeeper Loris Karius, friend of Sophia Thomalla.

The 27-year-old has been in a relationship with Thomalla for over two years.

Because he now had an unfortunate debut with the Berliners, conceding three goals after 36 minutes, Dahlmann brought the old man's saying a few minutes before the final whistle: “Now in Berlin he's just sitting on the bench

(based on his previous first half of the season, the editorial team)

Has the advantage that he can cuddle up with his Sophia Thomalla at home.

But for such a cozy night with Sophia I would also sit on the bench. "

Then a shit storm set in on social media.

On Wednesday Dahlmann apologized.

“Some accuse me of sexism.

No, that was meant sexist in no time.

But should it be so, I apologize to the audience and also to Sophia Thomalla (if she feels attacked), ”he wrote on Instagram.

Sexism is just as far from him as racism or the like.

“It was a flippant saying that obviously went wrong for many.

There was in no way any bad intention behind it. "

Nevertheless, his broadcaster has now drawn the necessary conclusions.

Dahlmann was supposed to comment on the cup game of Bundesliga club Mainz 05 against the second division team from VfL Bochum on this Wednesday evening (in the sports ticker of WELT).

But he was no longer allowed to do that.

“We can confirm that Jörg Dahlmann will not be on duty this evening.

The editors have decided that Marcel Meinert will comment on the Mainz game against Bochum in the conference, ”confirmed the broadcaster of“ Bild ”.

Thomalla told the newspaper: “Everyone wants a little love for Christmas ... also Jörg.

But folks - this is about football, not about kid shit.

I didn't even notice.

That was such a blatant game.

Union was so close.

That annoyed me a lot more! "

In the report, Dahlmann also had another say.

When asked about the sexism chalked up against him, he said he had to live with it, even though he didn't like being a macho: “It was just not that smart… What I'm being accused of is not true.

I'm sorry, it wasn't meant to be.

Maybe I should have left it.

I didn't want to harm Karius or Frau Thomalla!

I don't even want to cuddle with her, I have a girlfriend. "
