SBS football presenter Lucy Zelic has come under fire for making scathing on-air comments about Adelaide.
During the SBS football show, The World Game, Ms Zelic labelled the city a "sh--hole" and "incredibly dull". The presenter was interviewing Central Coast Mariners player Ziggy Gordon, when she shared her opinion. SBS football presenter Lucy Zelic has come under fire for making scathing on-air comments about Adelaide. "I can say that because I've travelled there multiple times and I didn't enjoy it. I found it to be incredibly dull and boring."
The comment has sparked a fierce reaction on social media, with some users labelling her a "disgrace" and "unprofessional".
He is right.
She's right. I was born and grew up there. Shit hole and boring pretty apt. Seen the latest tourism ads old dude crying . That's me for not leaving Adelaide sooner. Zelic is on point.
Did she pronounce Adelaide and shit properly. She's fussy about such things.
Meh, it's an opinion. More importantly, are South Australians that defensive that they care what she thinks?
And? Even people in Adelaide agree with her. It really does suck.
MrTVAus Hope she said with a South Australian accent
Lucy Zelic sure is an enigma. She goes to such painstaking lengths to make sure every player and team's name is pronounced absolutely precisely as the person themself would say it (to the point of madness) but then makes a completely unprofessional howler like that. Strange.
This place IS a shithole
Where’s the lie though?
Was she drunk
Who?
She should be sacked
She’s clearly never had a beer at Slugger’s house.
She spoke the truth I’m afraid.
Ignorant, ill-informed, unprofessional wannabe, trying to make a name for herself. Go back to 'exciting' Canberra and stay there!
She was just using her powers of perception... and her implied right to free speech
He's not wrong...
And ?
Insult to shit holes everywhere 😂
Never heard of her
Can confirm
They'll get over it. Aurelio Vidmar said worse, and he was coaching them.
Truth speaks
GeorgeBakhos1 Shithole no, dull, very dull yes
GeorgeBakhos1 In the future everyone in the world will have to apologise for 15 minutes
Sack this miserable commentator - obviously delights in social and economic status ranking herself above others. Such judgment is unwarranted and a blight !
Apparently it's a fair enough observation by LucyZelic based on the twitter responses
Actually, it depends on where you go in Adelaide. The city is good, but some of the outer suburbs are pretty rough. But at least we don't have stupid intersections where you turn right from the left lane (Melbourne) and we're not as crowded as Sydney. Adelaide is green n peaceful
So what did she say that is wrong 🤔
LucyZelic we find you 'incredibly dull and boring.' If you meant no offense then you should have kept your mouth shut.
Isn’t the father of her child from Adelaide! Obviously not paying the child support! Doubt she’s on big coin seeing that most people don’t even know who she is!
Having escaped from that boring shit hole to beautiful Brisbane I can’t help but agree with her...
It’s not true obviously and it’s not a funny joke if it’s meant to be a joke. She’s a snob and for someone who cried on tv should probably wind her neck in
You only go to Adelaide to die!!
The truth hurts!
Its ok, she is female, she can say what she wants. There will be nothing done about this
Seriously...you can't joke as Aussies use to do in that manner ...new immigrants get offended then you the media jump on it 🙄
Lucy is the new 'Old Mate' I can't wait to see who pops up next This campaign may actually work
It is, but no need to state the bleeding obvious.
Lucy Zelic re Adelaide...
Another incident of men putting barriers in the way of women. Patriarchy at it again
Disgusting
But Adelaide is the city of churches.
I THOUGHT THAT WAS COMMIE MELBOURNE ? BUT I GUESS THEY DID HAVE A LABOR GOVT FOR 20 YEARS 🥴
Lol coincidentally my favourite site on Instagram is ‘shitadelaide’ it’s so funny !! 👍
she's right tho 😂
