A Fox News reporter was caught on live television calling Northern Ireland golfer Rory McIlroy a 'leprechaun'.

In the segment, contributors were discussing McIlroy, who has ruptured a ligament in his ankle casting doubts over his participation in the British Open.

While speaking on camera, Fox 'Outnumbered' co-host Harris Faulkner said the group were "still reacting to that Rory McIlroy story", before being interrupted by an unseen reporter.

"He's a leprechaun, I can't stand him," she can be heard saying.

Not long after the incident, Ms Faulkner took to Twitter to say she didn't hear incident when live on air.

"Ugh, did NOT hear that said when we were live. MY reaction was re: his reputation of the not-so-nice fiance firing," she wrote.

The World Number One golfer, who is from Co Down, took to social media earlier today to share a picture of himself in crutches with his foot in a cast boot.

He said:" Total rupture of left ATFL (ankle ligament) and associated joint capsule damage in a soccer kickabout with friends on Saturday. Continuing to asses extent of injury and treatment plan day by day. Rehab already started.

I can't listen to it now but the fact that she said "He's a leprechaun, I can't stand him" would give that impression like he's Irish and that's why i don't like him :/

So why not just say "I can't stand him"? Why did she have to include his nationality in such a derogatory way?

Modern depictions of leprechauns are largely based on derogatory 19th century caricatures and stereotypes of the Irish

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leprechaun


And Rory is from the North of Ireland and Leprechauns hail from the South so its derogatory and geographically inaccurate

Hope she's fired, very racist. It's no surprise that fox news and it's reporters are racist but at least we now have more proof, and if she isn't fired then it just shows it even more.
