Sky Sports have issued an apology following remarks made by commentators, after Sean Dyche paid his respects to Everton fan Michael Jones.
The Everton boss was seen wearing a black armband during his side's 4-0 defeat to Aston Villa this weekend, after construction worker, Jones, was killed whilst working at their new stadium development at Bramley Moore Dock.
Sky pair Bill Leslie and Andy Hinchcliffe compared Dyche to “a croupier” because of his white shirt and black armband, sparking outrage in the aftermath.“We have spoken to everyone involved in the coverage including both the commentators and have reminded them of their responsibilities and the need for care and sensitivity. We apologise for any upset or distress caused by these comments.”
