Mentioned the name of Sukur in Morocco-Canada, the Turkish commentator is fired

On Turkish TV channel "TRT", commentator Alper Bak?rc?gil reminded Turkish viewers that the fastest goal in a soccer World Cup was scored by Turkish legend Hakan Sukur.

And he didn't have to do that. At least not according to his employer. During the break of the Morocco-Canada match, Bak?rc?gil was removed from the screen and replaced by a colleague. After the match, he received the dismissal notice, he himself said on "Twitter".

"I was fired from 'TRT', where I worked proudly for many years, after the event that happened today (Thursday)," he wrote.

The reason for the break is not that the Turkish commentator had said anything factually wrong.

Hakan Sukur actually scored the fastest goal in World Cup history when, after just 11 seconds, he put Turkey ahead in a World Cup match in 2002. But since then, Sukur is considered by the Turkish government to be linked to terrorism.
