Man that is very racist. Nothin tame about that. I am very very far from PC but that shouldn't he said on air. That's something that could be a running joke between skinheads

Why do people want to control if someone is racist. If they are racist or jerks and you don't want to hear them, turn them off or don't hang out with them. Let people be who they want to be and do your own thing.
I understand your take. But a company like ESPN or any company really doesn't want any kind of racism involved of they are smart sbout business. Just from a moral and business take for me. I think racist people are morons but they have every right to be morons. But info wish there were less stupid people out there. Disclaimer. I've met lots of really dumb people who aren't racist lolWhy do people want to control if someone is racist. If they are racist or jerks and you don't want to hear them, turn them off or don't hang out with them. Let people be who they want to be and do your own thing. Not taking a shot at you but I always wonder why people care what other people say if they don't like it and it doesn't have any baring on their lives. We'll never see they guy again at fox anyway.
Why do you care if someone wants to talk about someone else saying dumb, racist things? Staying silent on the topic is often taken as tacit approval.Why do people want to control if someone is racist.

Bye, bye..,, ESPN let him go today. He had made comments that baseball was so simple even Dominicans can do well (paraphrasing)
What a tool
That is funny as hell.Bye, bye..,, ESPN let him go today. He had made comments that baseball was so simple even Dominicans can do well (paraphrasing)

Hey ironyYour "paraphrasing" is the real problem here. People read a quick headline or a strategically edited quote then post their uninformed opinion as many places as they can think of. How about you learn to comprehend a complete thought and quit looking for reasons to be offended.
And since he already announced he was leaving ESPN they had little reason to tell the Twitter mob to eff off. A reputable company would have but ESPN is quickly becoming far from that.

How about you read the article. My paraphrase is very close to the quote.
I don't give a shit about what he said. He was trying to make a point, but his ego (how smart he thinks he is) got in the way.
So you should not try to put an agenda on someone else. That might be worse the paraphrase.
Hypocrite
Seriously, substitute other ethnicities and see who's offended. There are a mulititude of reasons to fire Cowherd, but I'm not sure this is serious enough to merit anything but maybe an apology. I'm losing ESPN anyway.That is funny as hell.
I am sick of the PC police.
Now, who is paraphrasing for their own agenda?Your paraphrasing is no where near what he said. Cowherd said baseball wasn't a complex sport. He states a third of the athletes in baseball are from the Dominican Republic. He also says the country is not known for its world class academic abilities. Which they are not. They are a third world country with tons of poverty and the educational system is poor.
So to say Cowherd basically said "baseball is so simple even Dominicans can do well" is poor paraphrasing.
Here is the whole quote from Cowherd:
“It’s too complex? I’ve never bought into that ‘baseball is too complex.’ Really? A third of the sport is from the Dominican Republic. The Dominican Republic has not been known in my lifetime as having world class academic abilities. A lot of those kids come from rough backgrounds and have not had opportunities academically that other kids from other countries have. Baseball is like any sport. It’s mostly instincts. A sportswriter who covers baseball could go up to Tony La Russa and make an argument and Tony would listen and it would seem reasonable. There’s not a single NFL writer in the country who could diagram a play for Bill Belichick. You know, we get caught up in this whole ‘thinking-man’s game.’ Is it in the same family? Most people could do it. It’s not being a concert pianist. It’s in the same family.”
Fox, will probably welcome him with open arms for that comment. Heck, they may even have "the Donald" there to greet, and welcome him into the fold!In my perfect world John Wall would be doing the Dougie while Colin carried his box of stuff out of the building on his last day. I hope his Fox gig falls through because of it but probably won't happen. ESPN should just go ahead and kill of its radio for good by having Mike and Mike do 7 hours of worthless content every day.

You certainly are passionate about this. However, you need to take an English 101 course.Now, who is paraphrasing for their own agenda?
I put I was paraphrasing, so it could be taken from context.
YOU can't even do that.
I am done with your babble and hypocritical remarks. Your responses have shown your agenda, your just not able to properly defend that stance.
Have a good weekend, you can still see cowherd on Fox
You missed Cowherd's meaning in your paraphrasing. You certainly didn't achieve great clarity. You actually broadened the possible meanings of what Cowherd said.Express the meaning of (the writer or speaker or something written or spoken) using different words, especially to achieve greater clarity.
True, but the last year or so he was fairly positive on Cal. I saw him speak highly of Cal and praise him several times over the last year but we were undefeated so what else was he going to do.Atleast he won't be bashing cal on ESPN anymore lol
People don't try to "control" racists, but they do try to discourage it and educate people on why it's wrong. Racism isn't just a set of naughty words or sentences (i.e. You're a ni$$er; you're not smart because you're a Dominican), it's also mindset that can effect how society views minority's to the point where minorities may not have as many opportunities and may get treated different by society. Especially when a guy like Cowherd does it, since he has such a big platform.
Also, you people who get so uptight about others getting in trouble for not being "PC" cry just as much as the PC police, and for worse reasons too.
If you want "context", here's the actual quote:
"I mean, the Marlins put a general manager in their dugout. People freaked out. You know, like, “Whoa!” It’s baseball. You don’t think a general manager can manage? Like it’s impossible? The game is too complex? Like, I’ve never bought into that. “Baseball’s too complex.” Really? A third of the sport is from the Dominican Republic. The Dominican Republic is not been known, in my lifetime, as having, you know, world-class academic abilities. I mean, a lot of those kids come from rough backgrounds, and have not had opportunities academically that other kids from other countries have. Baseball’s like any sport. It’s mostly instincts."
