Anthem controversy

The pre-match playing of Spain's national anthem prompted widespread booing from Catalan nationalist fans of FC Barcelona and Basque nationalist fans of Athletic Bilbao. Televisión Española (TVE) cut away from its coverage as soon as this started and consequently did not show the playing of the anthem live, instead showing it at half time with the booing edited out. Afterwards, its director Javier Pons apologised for the "mistake", and Julian Reyes, the head of sports news, was fired as a result of the censorship.{{cite news |url=http://www.irishtimes.com/newspaper/breaking/2009/0514/breaking66.html |title=Spain sacks TV head after anthem booed |agency=Reuters |date=15 May 2009 |work=The Irish Times |access-date=2009-05-15 |archive-date=2012-10-21 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121021030001/http://www.irishtimes.com/newspaper/breaking/2009/0514/breaking66.html |url-status=dead }}
