NC State radio announcer indefinitely suspended after 'illegal aliens' remark during Mayo Bowl broadcast

I don't have a problem with him being suspended. That is up to the employer.
I have a problem with people being more willing to protect illegal immigrants than they are willing to support an American citizen.
On a scale of inflammatory comments, this comment was about a 1 out of 10. It is disappointing that people just want to be enraged at everything that doesn't make them happy, even if it's not overtly offensive.
Can anyone point out who is offended by his comment?

Get your tiki torch!
Yup, no more NFL marketing partnership with department of defense.
Stephen Smith saying FSU didn’t hire Deion because...racism? Willie Taggart fired because...racism?
Hmmm.
So it’s LEGAL to cross a border with no documentation?
Should we eliminate passports altogether globally?
Ha. Someone knows they’ll have several examples up quickly. BTW I didn’t need to google mine.

"Under federal law, any non-U.S. citizen is an alien. Aliens who have entered the United States without permission, or who have violated the terms of their admission, are identified under the law as illegal aliens. That is a fact, not an issue for debate."
Lol, you have to have a job first to be able to be a taxpayer…..
Shocker. Toothless Larry caused it. Wtg hillbilly Golfing!
I remember some idiot promoting gun control during an NFL broadcast several years ago, I'm sure they were outraged then too.
Oh cool, now corky is posting in this thread as wel! Dey toook errrr Jerbzzzzz
So is kneeling and plastering the BLM organization all over everything but I don't remember a peep from you about that.
Did you not watch sports following the George Floyd fiasco? If you don’t want to say those mentions/discussions weren’t political then the illegal alien comment about a game being played in a city getting inundated with illegals isn’t political either. It’s either they both are or neither are.
Is there a difference between game announcers and talk show personalities who are paid to give opinions and be controversial?

When dumb people say dumb shit like this publicly, the public usually has more of a problem with the fact the person doesn’t even know he said something stupid, more than the fact that he did say something stupid.
This is one of those cases. You could tell the guy thought what he said was perfectly acceptable. If he said, “I probably shouldn’t say this but with what’s going on at the border…”, a lot less people would give a shit.

I don’t think so. Revenue has doubled since 2014, and team valuations are through the roof.

So kneeling and plastering the BLM organization all over everything is not "inflammatory and not related to sport"?

What an idiot. I’m amazed at just how stupid mofos like yoy reveal yourselves to be.
Another ironic post. JFC the emotion-driven “thinking” some of you do.
Stupid stupid stupid fücking attempt at an argument.
You are just so steeped in dumb.
Is NFL taking taxpayer money from Department of Defense political?
America needs more immigrants. We don't want to become Japan or Germany where the population is aging and there aren't enough young people to fill the void.
Are you denying this happens? My God, how far do you have your head in the sand? try googling ESPN and politics.

The kneeling is part of the event, since it is a pre-game tradition, and is not intended to be inflammatory. That some dildos get bent out of shape about it is not relevant.
This was my immediate reaction. And believe it explains what happened.
We don’t know what took place between the comment and the suspension (not to mention his behavior before the comment). He is very likely an asshole, very likely has said similar things off air, and very likely was defiant at the suggestion it was inappropriate and that he should apologize.
And maybe he just wasn’t that good (which is pretty common amongst morons)
Did you even read the link you posted? It talks about how ESPN covered the BLM activism not how a single commentator spoke out during an sporting event. From the article you believes proves your point:
ESPN spokesperson Mike Soltys insists that the company’s stance on political coverage is “often mischaracterized.”
“We have said we aren’t covering pure politics, but clearly we cover it when it intersects with sports, including in the last 24 hours as the sports world became a focal point of social unrest,” Soltys told CNN
Try again.
