With the vast expansion of sports coverage through newer platforms such as 24/7 cable and social networking media, it's inevitable that a fair number of morons gain entry into the industry. This guy is just one of them. The days of Red Smith and Shirley Povich are long gone.

Still wondering, at which exact point did we reach the over-saturation threshold, in which "tweets" became "news".

Seems like half the stories on ESPN are about damn tweets.

Ridiculous if you ask me.

The world would be a better place if we could all just grow a little thicker skin and get over it. Seems like you cant turn on the news anymore without someone making a "slur".

The world would be a better place if people wouldn't make slurs, and their enablers wouldn't defend them. There are still idiots out there who believe that the Holocaust didn't happen!

I am in the politically incorrect minority here, but it seems to me people are overreacting to a bit of obvious sophomoric humor that, if anything, is poking fun at stereotypes rather than seriously perpetuating them. This isn't at all akin to using the "N" word.
