Arrr, me hearties! Yiannis Exarchos be beggin' the scallywags behind the cameras to steer clear o' ye ol' sexism and stereotypes whilst film’n the grand Games! Let’s not be turnin’ our fine sport into a comedy o’ errors, savvy?
Arrr, gather 'round ye scallywags! It be said that a high-ranking matey from the Olympic Broadcasting Services, one Yiannis Exarchos, be warnin' camera swabs to steer clear of the treacherous waters of sexism during the grand spectacle they call the Paris Olympics. Aye, he be claimin' that some of the sea dogs behind the lenses be framing the fair lass athletes in a way that reeks of olde stereotypes, as if they be more fit for the tavern than the arena!The captain of the OBS ship be lettin' it known that women be there not fer their charms, but for their prowess in sportin' feats! He pointed a finger at the “unconscious bias” of landlubber menfolk, who be givin’ the ladies far too much close-up action while the lads get the noble wide shots. Talk about a camera crew with a roguish eye!
And lo! Just as the games be startin’, a blunderin’ bloke named Bob Ballard made a right fool of himself, crackin’ wise about the fair Australian swim team, likin’ them to lasses fussin’ over their makeup! Well, the crew cast him overboard, and he sent a message o’ apology, claimin’ he be a grand supporter of the fairer sex. Aye, it seems even the salty sea of sports be needin’ a good scrub from time to time!
