Overview
- Cadena SER’s Carrusel Deportivo saw a heated exchange Saturday between José Antonio Ponseti and Eduardo Iturralde González during Super Bowl programming.
- Reporting from the United States, Ponseti said some in ‘deep America’ keep guns because police may take at least 20 minutes to reach a home and added he would own firearms there.
- Iturralde pressed whether Ponseti was defending private gun ownership and questioned if anyone should be allowed to carry a weapon.
- The argument escalated into personal insults from Ponseti toward Iturralde as presenter Dani Garrido attempted unsuccessfully to de-escalate the segment.
- The segment ended with Ponseti apologizing to listeners while still insulting Iturralde, with no reported station statements or disciplinary actions as of February 9.
