A-League memes would be forced to apologise within a matter of hours, after tagging, Seven employee, social media manager Brenden Wood as part of several tweets responding to users.
“Under legal advice, we are making a full public apology to 7News Australia employee Brenden Wood that we tagged him under the tweet regarding 7News fb post, unintentionally implying he made the racist post. This is certainly not the intention. We apologise unreservedly to Brenden,” A-League memes said.
Around an hour and a half later, Seven had itself issued an apology for the post, in a separate news article.
“Earlier on Monday, a 7NEWS.com.au social media post was published with a regrettable mistake,” Seven said.
