20 year career but instantly fired for saying nigger instead of negro when talking about the Negro League Museum
Insane
Yea man seriously that's fucked up.
Imagine him having said that right as an announcer the other 100 times he said it and then he's trying to read the teleprompter and he slips up...
We live in a pussified country now where "free speech" is actually just "We'll decide if we think it's ok and no ones feelings get hurt" and "To meet our corporate goals of hopefully not being associated with racist terminology"
Let's do a pie chart of how offended African Americans were after hearing that
LIVE 1) 50% Did not hear it live and saw it in the form of a shortened clip to make it seem racist on social media
2) 25% Heard it live but thought it was funny / weird and said "hopefully he doesn't lose his job"
3) 20% White liberals' file complaints with the BBB for having hired a guy who made a mistake on live-air and that he should be terminated immediately
4) 1-5% Actually may have been somewhat offended but got "over it" by the end of the next commercial.
