Message #4179 of 6634  *NEW* To :   All From :   Jaydawg   Subject :   Fox fires Steve Lyons for making a racially insensitive comment about Lou Piniella's Hispanic heritage on the air during Game 3 of the A.L.C.S.; L.A. Angel commentator Jose Mota will be the replacement Date :   10/14/06, 1:57pm To be honest, I don't see how the term "hablaing espanol" is racially insenitive. It's maybe a tad distasteful, though. However, Steve Lyons has been known in the past to have made insensitive comments, particularly about Shawn Green's religion. He was the only commentator to blast him for taking the day off on Yom Kippur. Fox certainly had more sufficient grounds for firing Lyons on that one, but refused to do so. • Previous Topic • Next Topic • Reply to Msg #4179 • Back to Topics 1510 reads 755 clickthrough(s) You cannot start a topic in the Headlines or Classifieds area... if you want to post a new message, try one of our other message areas!
