You might consider spending some time in the real world at some future point.
NC State radio announcer indefinitely suspended after 'illegal aliens' remark during Mayo Bowl broadcast
- Thread starter NorthernHawkeye
- Start date
So you think what he said was wrong but you don’t want his employer to impose any discipline?
(He hasn’t been fired. He’s been suspended).
And it’s not “protecting” illegal immigrants - it’s an inappropriate comment for a football announcer to make, just like if he called someone a homo, or said the sideline reporter has a great ass.
Context matters.
No, it highlights your bigotry and lack of intelligence.
So, let me get this straight. In one post, you have the gumption to ask me what it is you're defending and then you follow that up by posting garbage like this?
Lol. You're not clever and obviously not a serious adult. Thank you for letting me know you're just a troll and not worth engaging.

What amazes me is people like this Northern character believe they are actually the victims.
Certain
what political statement did he make? I keep listening to it and still haven’t heard it.

You aren’t very bright.
This is the key point. If he was calling the Sun Bowl in El Paso, TX, it was a flippant, callous, but factually somewhat accurate comment. But why in the world would you say that when covering the Mayo Bowl being held in Charlotte, NC???

In every. Single. Post.
Then denies that he is loathed by 95% of the rest of the HROT community.
Typical behavior from a spousal abuser though.
You are the second person to state he abuses his wife. Do you guys actually know him in real life?
That would really explain his behavior on here. Yikes.
It certainly isn't consistent with conservative media and Republican talking points.

You sound like the only outraged person posting in this thread. Most of the rest of us are shrugging our shoulders and saying “damn, what an idiot” for the guy being so obtuse.
He clearly was attempting to inject his personal feelings into the situation and as mentioned before, doing it during a college football broadcast was not the time or place for it.

Come on guys. You need to quit posting crap like the above.
The groups above aren't violating U.S. law and they aren't a current news story that is capturing national attention.
Try to be better.
But why say it? It has absolutely nothing to do with the game, the bowl, the players, the teams, the location, the region, college football, or even sports in general.
Would you get some type of discipline from your employer if you went around saying that?
That's rich in irony.
FTR, I'm not in favor of illegal immigration, but I also recognize most of the people who are desperate enough to try to get into this country are human beings who deserve to be viewed as such. The whole situation is unfortunate, and I respect the fact conservatives want law and order on the border, as I believe the position is justified, but I am tired of people like you talking about illegal immigrants as if they are less than human.
It's you and Northern who need to be better. Shame on both of you. And if either of you claim to be Christian, you really do need to examine your hearts.
I have a cousin that lives in El Paso and he says he is moving the family due to it not being safe anymore.
So while the announcer may have been correct in what he said, I think he is 100% wrong to say anything political, ever, in that position. He is in the wrong. He should be fired as far as I am concerned.
Sports as a whole should be a place to go where political beliefs are left out.
Michael Jordan, Tiger Woods, Derek Jeter, Larry Bird, Magic Johnson, Wayne Gretzky…there are SOOOOo many more former superstars who did the right thing. They shut up about politics. They all had/have political beliefs. Everyone does.
But they realized that as good and as powerful and as influential as they were to their fans, it was not their job to push their political beliefs upon their fans.
Unfortunately, the NFL and especially the NBA have openly embraced politics

When did I talk "about illegal immigrants as if they are less than human."
Please dont make false allegations.
Fair enough. My apologies. I read your post in haste.
I actually agree the border is a problem and needs to be addressed better than what the current administration has. My only issue is with people who talk about illegal immigrants as if they are loathsome and disgusting. Most aren't.
I don't remember Northern ever talking this way.
Maybe your confusing him with yourself.
Because I remember this from you.
You'll never get how about everything you post just reveals you to be a programmed zombie.El Paso faced a ‘major surge in illegal crossings’ over the weekend, senior border official says
El Paso faced a 'major surge in illegal crossings' over the weekend, senior border official says | CNN Politics
More than 2,400 migrants crossed into the United States near El Paso, Texas, daily over the weekend, according to a senior Border Patrol official, marking what he described as a "major surge in illegal crossings" in the region.www.cnn.com
Same with NC St announcer guy. Puppets on a string.
Thanks for the apology.
I would like to add though that no one in this thread has talked "about illegal immigrants as if they are loathsome and disgusting."
What the announcer said yesterday was wrong as I mentioned earlier, but your point here is quite true and neither league should be doing this and no justification for it.
Keep freaking politics out of sports.
Do you feel the comment was appropriate?
And it’s not a violation of US law to come here and claim asylum. It’s protected by multiple Senate approved treaties we’ve signed, the Refugee Act, and the thousands of pages in the INA.
Just ask @NorthernHawk for the specific cite.
I am embarrassed at your hypocrisy and fake empathy. Actually not embarrassed, just sad that you and your libbies choose not to find a solution but use these people to gain political power. These are human beings not chess pieces to manipulate.
Politics has been interjected into sports for a long time. The question really is are you offended when you agree with the comments made, or just offended when you disagree.
Reading back through things, I just realized he was in NC when he said this? Still 100% wrong but even more stupid, if possible.

Offended or not offended doesn’t matter here. This guy was dumb. As would be a broadcaster if he were in South Florida and said “here surrounded by unhinged MAGAs.”
That hypothetical guy should also be fired for being too stupid to have the job.

Factually true statements. And that was the exact thread I was referring to.
Yeah, because everyone knows the Jews have had a great reputation within conservative talking points.
The people he’s trying to talk about are human beings trying to better themselves and their families. Calling them “aliens” is an attempt to dehumanize them, just like saying the south and Central American countries are sending their rapists and murderers.
Of all people, I would think you would understand that language is powerful in shaping narratives.
A government official was quoted earlier in this thread as saying a "major surge in illegal crossings".
Boy you sure don't miss a chance to express your hatred of this country. Any chance you sliding your bias into every job you've had is part of the reason you've been unable to maintain employment?
It was stupid that the announcer said it. It's even worse that he is in a position to accurately say it because El Paso has been over run by illegals.
