The world wide leader....in sports.....is also making itself the moral compass of our society....
Too much power? Maybe......But if you work for ESPN.....you had better watch what you do....what you say......and .....how you say it.
From our friends at TMZ.com:
ESPN Benches Bob Griese for 'Taco' Crack
Posted Oct 26th 2009 8:35PM by TMZ Staff
Can anyone at ESPN keep a job? The network suspended Bob Griese today for a racist remark he made about NASCAR driver Juan Pablo Montoya.
While he was calling Saturday's Minnesota-Ohio State game, Griese made a crack about Montoya saying he was "out having a taco." Montoya is Colombian.
ESPN is yanking Griese off the air for one week, and a rep for the network says Griese "understands the comment was inappropriate."
Yesterday ESPN fired baseball analyst Steve Phillips after news broke of his sex scandal with a production assistant.
