In Germany, entertainer Luke Mockridge's performance was cancelled after he made a crude joke about "drowned" Paralympians.
It is reported that the corresponding decision was made directly by the management of the TV channel on which Mockridge was supposed to appear.
It is emphasized that the comedian stated: "Some people have no arms or legs. If you throw them into a pool, the winner will be the one who drowns last," as reported by the newspaper " Izvestia ".
It is emphasized that the German public found the comedian's statement extremely offensive.
Decisive measures
Mockridge later issued a public apology and said he had not intended to offend people with disabilities.
In addition, the comedian emphasized that when composing this joke, he consulted directly with Paralympians.
It is currently unknown whether the comedian will perform after the apology.
Today, September 8, it was reported that Russian Paralympic athletes won 64 medals at the 2024 Paralympics, which took place in Paris.
