    Wizards announcer under fire for insensitive comments...

    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.

    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

    "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.

    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!

    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...

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