A male sports commentator has come under fire after threatening to "choke" his female co-host on-air during a soccer game broadcast.
During coverage of a United States versus Mexico game, former US men's national soccer team (USMNT) player Oguchi Onyewu said to Mexican women's national team defender, Janelly Farias, "I will come across this desk and choke you".
The comment was made during a live recording of CBS Sport, after the pair quarrelled while discussing the USMNT's win over Mexico during the Concacaf Nations League final.
While the retired athlete maintained the remark was a joke, he was swiftly met with criticism on social media for his "aggressive" commentary.
"Oguchi Onyewu has no awareness on or off the pitch," one user wrote on Twitter.
