Sports presenter Elle Duncan has found herself at the centre of a heated debate after making a cheeky remark about a WNBA star during a live game broadcast. The comment, which referenced the player's physique in a humorous way, quickly went viral, drawing mixed reactions from fans and critics alike.
Duncan, known for her unfiltered commentary, has since doubled down on her joke, refusing to issue an apology despite the backlash. 'I stand by what I said – it was all in good fun,' she stated during a follow-up segment.
Fan Reactions Split
While some viewers praised Duncan for her light-hearted approach, others accused her of crossing the line. Social media platforms erupted with debates, with hashtags like #TeamDuncan and #RespectThePlayers trending for hours.
'It's just banter,' argued one supporter. 'If we can't laugh at sports, what's the point?'
On the other hand, critics called the remark unnecessary and disrespectful. 'There's a time and place for jokes, and live commentary isn't it,' tweeted one disappointed fan.
The WNBA Responds
The league has yet to release an official statement, but insiders suggest that discussions are ongoing about how to address such incidents in the future. Meanwhile, the player in question has remained silent on the matter, focusing instead on her upcoming games.
Duncan, however, seems unbothered by the controversy. 'I’ve been in this business long enough to know not everyone will like what I say,' she quipped. 'But that’s never stopped me before.'
