FIFA has revoked the credentials of a Paraguayan soccer commentator who went on a wild, expletive-filled tirade while calling a game.
According to The Athletic, Jorge Chipi Vera was calling games for ABC Carnival and ABC TV and was calling Paraguay's match against Turkiye.
Paraguay won that match 1-0, but it was notable because Paraguay's Miguel Almirón became the first player to get the ol' heave-ho for violating FIFA's new rule about covering one's mouth.

It's a rule that's kind of ridiculous with more than its share of obvious flaws, and I think Jorge Chipi Vera would agree with me on that.
WORLD CUP PLAYERS WHO COVER THEIR MOUTHS DURING CONFRONTATIONS COULD GET RED CARDS
When Almirón got sent off, Vera went off.
There's a good chance you don't speak Spanish (nor do I; four years in high school and a year in college, and the best I can do is order a beer and ask where the kitchen is), so fortunately, others have translated.

Vera called FIFA President Gianni Infantino and match referee Ivan Baton "f--king thieves" and said that they were "killing football."
That alone is going to get a little heat, but Vera then tacked on 20 "sons of b----hes."
Twenty.
Does it count as a fleeting expletive if you do it that many times?
ZERO BS.
JUST DAKICH.

Probably not, but whatever the case, Vera released an apology for his comments.
"During the broadcast of the match between Paraguay and Turkiye, I had an outburst," the broadcaster said (as translated by The Athletic).
"In the midst of my frustration over the expulsion of a player from my country, and feeling that my national team was being harmed, I used offensive and unacceptable expressions against the referee, FIFA, and its authorities."

In fairness, a lot of people say stuff like that when they feel like their favorite team has been wronged.
The only difference is they're not normally behind a mic broadcasting to millions.
