Foxtel CEO Patrick Delany has apologised after media website Crikey published an archival photo of him giving ‘a Nazi salute’ taken around 2014-15.
At the time Delany was CEO of FOX Sports Australia.
Crikey indicated the image appeared to be from the FOX Sports’ A-League “Hyundai Matchday Saturday” pre-game program set during the 2014-15 season, while he was “demonstrating the similarity” between the offensive gesture and a gesture used by A-League fans.
Delany told Crikey he was “shocked” to see the image.
“The fact I demonstrated this offensive salute was wrong and I unreservedly apologise,” he said.
