How Kotaku reported earlier this week, showed a video filmed during FC Barcelona’s 2019 tour of Japan Star Antoine Griezmann and Ousmane Dembele mock hotel employees. The team follows sorry it is not popular in Japan.
By doing recently released Clip, Griezmann and his teammate Ousmane Dembele wait while hotel staff try to get their television on Pro evolution soccer. Dembele can he hear? Mockery Staff said they had “ugly faces” and then asked in French, “Are you technologically advanced in your country or not?” While Griezmann laughs. After the clip went viral, FC Barcelona is finally here formally apologized in English and Japanese.
But Hachima Kikou indicates that the apology is crudely written in Japanese, with a typo in the first few words of the first sentence!
In Japanese the apology begins:
FC Barcelona, FC Barcelona
What would be in English:
FC Barcelona, FC Barcelona
(For context, in English, the apology begins with “FC Barcelona deeply regret it …” and not “FC Barcelona, FC Barcelona deeply regret it …”)
G / O Media can receive a commission
Typos happen! Quality, I know as well – or better – than anyone else. But as I said Online in Japan, these careless typos make the apology sloppy, not apologetic.
How Hachima Kikou also notes that at the time of writing, only the Japanese-speaking FC Barcelona account has tweeted the apology. The Account in English didn’t tweet the english one. On twitter, fand demand to know why.
The fact that the apology also blamed the club’s former board of directors (who have since been replaced) for the incident was not well received either, as it looked more like an apology. A Twitter user pointed out that the viral video not only discriminates against the Japanese people and their language, but also also humiliated the hotel staff. There were also requests to the team and players to apologize to the hotel and its staff.
This is also incredibly embarrassing for Japanese retail giant Rakuten, the club’s largest sponsor. (Griezmann allegedly apologized privately to CEO Hiroshi Mikitani.)
So far tit seems to be the biggest setback Griezmann’s side appearance as Yu-Gi-Oh! speaker. Konami had just hired him but dropped the player in the wake of this controversy.
In Japan there is a culture of apology to the point that is exaggerated and like one Play. (I mean, there was once a Japanese esports professional who apologized for seven minutes straight after the lost a Puyo puyo Tournament.) Win this CultureIt is easy to understand why an inferior typo is laden “I’m sorry” with finger pointing just wouldn’t be enough.
