‘Jeopardy!’ apologizes for ‘shameful’ clue after fans demand they ‘do better’
NY Post
Ticked-off “Jeopardy!” fans have spoken — and they want the iconic game show to “do better” after a clue was declared “shameful,” “misogynistic” and just downright medically “inaccurate.”
The long-running game show used its official Twitter account to apologize Tuesday after complaints poured in from viewers regarding a medical disorder that was referred to as “Grinch syndrome,” a term considered highly offensive by those in the autonomic nervous system disorder community. “Yesterday’s program included a clue about postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS),” the show’s social media mea culpa read. “After hearing from the community, we found we used an outdated and inaccurate term for this disorder, and we apologize.”More Related News
