Dione de Graaff has passed hard for the presentation of the Eredivisie-Camemen on Sunday evening and that is a shame, says Humberto Tan. “It’s ridiculous. It is even an idiot! ”
Humberto Tan has worked at the NOS for years and is annoyed by the culture that prevails there. According to him, women in particular often get lost and the presenter thinks that is really fouter than wrong. “There are still many structural problems at Studio Sport and they are in that hierarchy,” he says on NPO Radio 1.
‘Very bad’
What really doesn’t think Humberto is? “For example, I think it is very bad that … Well, I will just mention names: Why doesn’t Dione de Graaff present Sunday evening? He is by far the most experienced presenter of Studio Sport, but when Tom left, she did not get that job, while that is the most prestigious job of Studio Sport. ”
Really astonishing, according to the presenter. “Why does she not do that? So that is in the structural decisions made there that I think … “
“It’s idiot!”
But maybe Dione doesn’t want it at all? “Certainly,” says Humberto.
Did he talk about that with Dione? “I’m not going to say that, but I am sure she wants that. I called her. I find it ridiculous. Really idiot even. It makes no sense at all! And in that you see a certain kind of conservatism of the organization that is still in it. “
40 years after BBC
The owners at the NOS are original conservative, Humberto believes. “If you look at how it was celebrated that they finally had a female football commentator … Yes, 40 years after the BBC! And then you only have one! And then they are ‘very happy with it’. “
Incidentally, Dione was used a lot in the sports summer. Yes, Humberto agrees. “But there is a structure in it.”
