— Jamie Roberts (@Jamiehuwroberts) November 7, 2014 Wales has a player named Jake Ball (he’s the gent on the right in the above photo). They do not have a player named Jake Ballsack.
According to The Guardian, the BBC has corrected the error and apologized for the gaffe.
“We are investigating how this error occurred and the piece was amended as soon as it was spotted. We apologise for any offence that may have been caused.”
Apologies to all Balls and Ballsacks everywhere. You deserve better than this.
