RTL arouses indignation with tweet ‘a prize for Feyenoord’
RTL has received dozens of indignant reactions to a tweet, which talks about a “price for Feyenoord”. RTL is referring to the final of the Europa Conference League on Wednesday evening, in which Feyenoord will play against Roma AS. RTL Nieuws has posted a statement, in which the medium writes that it only referred to the “relatively low yields of the tournament”.
“A price for Feyenoord beckons”, RTL writes in the message. Minister Hugo de Jonge (Public Housing and Spatial Planning) is among the Twitter users who respond to this. “What? ‘Price’?”, he writes. Another tweeter responds: “Your editors really can’t do anything at all, can you. You can also be happy for another club for example.”
“Many people fall for the word ‘price’ in the above tweet”, RTL Nieuws writes in response to the fuss that arose about the message. “Of course we do not want to diminish the sporting and emotional value of this PRIZE.”
