WATCH: Fox News presenter resorts to idiotic “leprechaun” jibe when discussing Rory McIlroy

Oh do shut up

Darragh Murphy

Does this count as racism? We’re not too sure.

We are sure, though, that this Fox reporter will not be too popular in Ireland after referring to Rory McIlroy as a “leprechaun” during a live broadcast today.

Harris Faulkner was coming back from a report on the ankle injury sustained by the world number one when one of her fellow presenters said “he’s a leprechaun, I can’t stand him.”

We’re not sensitive enough to get too offended by this. We’re more upset that a grown woman is using a reason that stupid for disliking someone.
