Wizards announcer under fire for insensitive comments...

[RangeFinder]

May have been an honest mistake, but he should have done his research. However, I don't think Labron should be getting involved and let the player handle it himself between him and the announcer.

Thanks Glenn. I wonder if Lebron would of said anything if it was a white player?

[texhooper]

This was obviously an honest mistake. Would have been too good of a joke for an old sportscaster to make if he did it intentionally, if we’re being honest.

And Lebron is a douchebag

Thanks Glenn. I wonder if Lebron would of said anything if it was a white player?

Yes he would have because he’s a douchebag. Also this is a stupid thing to even mention

[jjgold]

He should be fired

Flat out dumb

It’s a stupid thing to mention, how?

"What a well-designed play. You gotta give him credit. … Kevin Porter Jr., like his dad, Alec Baldwin, pulled that trigger right at the right time," Consor said.


There, fixed it.

You know exactly how

I don't believe he thought it was former player Kevin Porter's son. I thought that guy was white. It was Kevin Grevey that was white, not Kevin Porter.

Now this is an instance where it makes sense to bring up race

If this is true then the announcer’s apology just got a whole lot flimsier!

[Bostongambler]

I hope you mean of course he wouldn’t have said anything.

Yep, leave it to this jackass to chime in immediately with absolutely no clue as to what happened! An obvious mistake - If Porter's dad was law abiding this wouldn't even be an issue...

[Foxx]

[texhooper]

Well that clears that up.

[thetrinity]

suspended at least, if he didn't bring up the dad, no big deal
