Quick question on Rogan v Sexton

Just saw this and noticed at the end Rogan says 'you wont use 2 communities against each other' at the end there. What exactly did Sexton say to piss him off that much? Did he mention religious divides, or something along those lines, in the lead up?

Martin Rogan actually apologised to Sexton for this statement as he was misinformed about what Sexton had been up to and his intentions before the press conference..

Basically Sexton was training in a gym in Belfast, and had some pictures with the local lads from that club outside, in front of the gym. Well this gym was odiously gonna be on one side or other of the wall and it got blown out of all proportion. Rogan realised this afterwards and apologised.

To be totally honest; over here in Norwich, the lads the age of me and Sexton, know very little or have little oppinion for what's actually going on in Belfast regarding the historical seperations. I grew up with Sexton and he doesn't have a racist bone in his body, it was unfortunate that some people took an innocent act the wrong way, but such is the way in Belfast I hear.
