SCANDALOUS STATEMENT FROM ARCHIE BROWN AFTER GIANT FIGHT

The giant derby, followed with great excitement by millions of football lovers on the Turkey Super League stage, resulted in a victory at the 2-1 level taken by the Galatasaray team against its arch-rival Fenerbahçe at the RAMS Park stadium. However, after the breathtaking competition, rather than the football played on the green pitch, the shameful incidents breaking out with the end whistle of the referee and the violence-filled fight left a mark on the sports agenda. At the center of the tension growing in seconds between the footballers of the two squads, Archie Brown wearing the Fenerbahçe jersey and Abdülkerim Bardakcı, the important name of the Galatasaray defense, took place. The fight of the duo, who were expelled from the game by directly seeing a red card due to physical interventions and pushes inside the pitch, was carried to a brand new and much more controversial dimension with the shocking statements made after the match. Archie Brown, one of the main actors of this chaos experienced, told the behind the scenes of the incidents by making special statements to the screens of Beyaz TV broadcasting in Turkey right after the encounter. The English defending player used the following expressions word for word in the live broadcast: "At the end of the match Abdülkerim grabbed Guendouzi's hair and I defended him. And he did this to my neck like a woman." These words, directly targeting the national player of the opponent team with such a harsh and sexist comparison, created a massive outrage by going viral within minutes on social media. While the Galatasaray front and its fans showed a great reaction against these scandalous words they found so provocative and disrespectful, sports authorities also emphasized that such poisonous statements escalating the tension are completely against the spirit of football. It is definitely expected that Turkey Football Federation disciplinary boards will give very heavy historic penalties to the talented footballer by comprehensively examining this provocative television interview after the match as well as the violence incidents experienced on the pitch. The derby is over but its repercussions will continue for a very long time.
