FOX Sports mistakenly announces Gary Bettman’s death on the air! Someone is going to get fired…

On Thursday, it was revealed that former NBA commissioner David Stern passed away at the age of 77.



When the news was made public, NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman issued a statement to pay tribute to his former colleague and friend.

Later that night, FOX Sports in Tampa Bay reported the news during the intermission of the game between the Montreal Canadiens and the Lightning, however, TV host Paul Kennedy made the worst mistake when he unintentionally announced instead the death of Gary Bettman.

He was supposed to share the words of the NHL commissioner in regards to the passing of his friend, but Kennedy made the mistake and went with it.

Analyst and former player Dave Andreychuk at his side realized the error but did not intervene, simply looking embarrassed.
