Sky Sports apologises for gambling ad during Jai Arrow's 100th game walkout

Sky Sports has blamed a scheduling error for airing a gambling advertisement during Jai Arrow's emotional walkout for his 100th game with the South Sydney Rabbitohs, an apology delivered by a network executive who acknowledged the mistake. The error occurred after the Titans-Dolphins match overran, prompting host broadcaster Fox to switch coverage to the Rabbitohs-Roosters tunnel, which led to the ad being played. Sky's head of sport, Steve Burchett, said a team chose the ad and that the network will review its decision-making process. Burchett admitted the network let down fans and those affected by motor neurone disease, noting the moment transcended rugby league. Sky has since posted the full walkout video online after receiving strong customer criticism on social media.
