I was happy he didn't lose his job though, unless I missed something. I read he has to undergo diversity training or something like that. I think too many announcers are being canned too quickly for the first offense.
This also reminds me of the Colorado Rockies game two weeks ago. Half the audience heard the N word, while half the audience heard Dinger, the Rockies mascot.
