'I regret the video': Grant Wahl's brother Eric apologizes to Muslim world after crying foul over journo death
NEWYORK CITY, NEW YORK: Grant Wahl's brother "regrets" speculating that his brother may have been killed at the World Cup in Qatar last week. Eric Wahl, Grant's gay brother, had caused a furor in his viral Instagram video soon after the soccer writer's death on 10 December, accusing the Qatar authorities of "killing him" while he covered the World Cup game.
Eric Wahl explained that he was “in shock” when he posted a video to social media over the weekend theorizing someone murdered his brother. “I regret the video,” Wahl said as he left the Manhattan apartment of his brother’s widow, Dr. Céline Gounder. “I was in shock, and I just had limited information to go on", he told New York Post on Tuesday, December 13.
