NBC sportscaster defends giving credit to Olympic gold medalist’s husband ‘the guy responsible’
http://www.rawstory.com/2016/08/nbc-sportscaster-defends-giving-credit-to-olympic-gold-medalists-husband-the-guy-responsible/
An NBC sportscaster is being criticized for giving credit to an Olympic gold medalist’s husband after her win for the 400-meter individual medley and setting a new world record Saturday.
When Hungarian swimmer Katinka Hosszú spoke to NBC’s Dan Hicks, he remarked Hosszú’s husband is “the guy responsible” for her success and it’s “impossible” to tell her story without giving him credit.
According to the Associated Press, online critics were quick to point out “You did it — not your husband.”
On Sunday, Hicks came short of apologizing, claiming instead he wish he had said it differently. “With live TV, there are often times you look back and wished you had said things differently,” Hicks said.
