During Monday night's Cowboys-Eagles game they showed a replay with audio from the Spanish-language call of the gameon ESPN Deportes. When they went back to the live broadcast, one of the announcers, Tony Kornheiser, remarked, "I took high-school Spanish, and that either means ‘nobody is going to touch him’ or ‘could you pick up my dry cleaning in the morning.'"
It was a poor attempt at humor, but no skin off my back, so I didn't think twice about it. Until later in the broadcast, when Kornheiser issued an on-air apology about his comment. Who was he apologizing to? What was offensive about that line? What am I missing here?
According to the official statement on the matter from ESPN, "After the comment was made our production team, including tony, discussed it. they agreed that making the apology was the right thing to do."
I'm beginning to think there is such a thing as being too p.c. Why is everyone so goddamned sensitive? Is it me or does everyone, and I mean everyone, need to lighten the fuck up?
You are right, everyone needs to lighten the fuck up.
