Shocked NFL fans call out Fox Sports over offensive commentary in ‘terrible’ Josh Allen interview blunder

NFL fans were horrified and angry at Fox Sports for making offensive comments in a closed-captioned postgame interview with Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen.

Allen was speaking with Fox’s Erin Andrews after leading his team to a 31-10 victory over the Seattle Seahawks when he was asked about his star rookie wide receiver Keon Coleman.

Buffalo’s wide receiving corps looked depleted to start the season, but the former Florida State star’s contributions have helped the Bills become one of the best teams in the AFC.

‘That naughty guy!’ Allen said, or as Fox wrote it, “African guy.”

The comment has drawn ire from some in the NFL community with the racial connotation.

During his post-game interview, closed captioning made a ‘terrible’ blunder in Allen’s words

‘Oh my God, it was absolutely terrible. I even took a picture to make sure I wasn’t seeing things, one NFL fan said on social media.

“That’s a fox for you,” said another person.

Another NFL fan posted a GIF of celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay, who stars on several Fox cooking shows, putting his head in his hands.

Others tried to joke about Coleman’s race or made ‘Crying Alexander’ jokes in reference to the show South Park.

Coleman finished the game with 70 receiving yards and a touchdown, while Allen threw for 283 yards and two touchdowns.

Fox Sports has not commented on the closed captioning blunder, while Coleman and Allen have also not said anything about the interaction.

Allen has spoken admiringly of his wide receivers over the years, with Coleman being no exception, despite what closed captioning says.

Hailing from Louisiana, Coleman played college football at Michigan State before transferring to Florida State.
