Someone took it the wrong way.

Breaking News...
Multiple suicides during women basketball broadcast!
To: Luke21
His problem is he called it “ladies basketball” when he criticized it. If he had called it “WNBA” he could save his career by saying: “Oh. I thought the W meant White NBA because the white players are awful.”

He got fired for saying he’d shoot himself if he had to watch women’s basketball? Geez, woke people gone crazy!

Someone probably likes watching it.I don't remember anyone telling me they liked watching.
Does it lose money, but the NBA makes up the loss for other considerations?
To: nickcarraway
I think it’s more likely the comment on the LPGA got him ashcanned - sounds like there are too many Koreans for his liking.

Nobody watches that dog squeeze. It is entirely supported by corporate and NBA money. Garbage.

Correct. The NBA heavily subsidizes the WNBA. It’s lost money every year.

<< I’ll shoot myself [before] I watch that.” >>
That’s it? Basically saying that a sport is unwatchable is a firing offense? In Woke America, if the target is one of the victim pyramid groups, it sure is.

They fired him because possibilities:
- He said "gun" regardless of context.
- He talked about suicide even in gest.
- He dissed the LPGA.
- All three. Still, good grief. Worst case this should have gotten a warning and an apology to the LPGA.

Reminds me of the announcer some years ago who commented the LPGA was a bunch of lesbians. He was gone within the hour.
Ya see, it is never about the truth of what you say, it is about if it is offensive to some.
The comment about the WNBA is on the money.

What the hell is wrong with that? I would shoot myself too before watching the WNBA. What a joke!
To: DannyTN
Betcha if he made the same exact remark about, say, NASCAR, it would’ve gone unpunished. Would barely raise an eyebrow. It’s all about the (protected) target.
