British TV network Sky Sports has issued an apology to Nottingham Forest regarding manager Steve Cooper.

There was a sketch on the Fantasy Football League show that involved acting out the signing of Serge Aurier for Forest.

Presenter Elis James appeared to significantly alter his face and even closed one of his eyes in an attempt to make fun of Cooper's expressions.

Greek businessman Evangelos Marinakis, who owns Forest, was also mocked.

Per the Daily Mail, Sky executives were not happy with the sketch.

The outlet reached out to Forest and those directly joked about in the sketch to apologize.
