Summary
- Radio Sport has apologised after comments made by host Martin Devlin in a live-to-air segment in which he criticised a journalist for taking an anti-rape banner into Eden Park.
- Devlin described Madeleine Chapman as the “chick from the Spinoff” and a “dickhead” for unfurling a banner at the ground during the T20 match on Friday night between the Black Caps and India.
- The sign said: “Wait” is not “yes” between the wickets or the sheets, pointedly referring to the rape trial of Black Caps star Scott Kuggeleijn, and a perceived poor response from New Zealand Cricket.
- Kuggeleijn was found not guilty of rape.
- In a statement, Radio Sport said it did not always share the views of its hosts and that the comments in the live-to-air segment on Saturday morning crossed the line.
