College Football Announcer 'Indefinitely Suspended' After Insensitive Comment

During the Duke's Mayo Bowl this Friday afternoon, NC State play-by-play announcer Gary Hahn apparently made a reference to "illegal aliens."

Several people reportedly heard Hahn say "down among all the illegal aliens in El Paso it’s UCLA leading Pitt" while providing the score of the Sun Bowl.

Hahn's employer, Learfield Communications, wasted no time disciplining him for his actions. The company announced that Hahn has been suspended indefinitely.

Kyle Winchester, the general manager of Wolfpack Sports Properties, released a statement on Hahn.

"Learfield has suspended Wolfpack Sports Network Play-by-Play announcer Gary Hahn indefinitely following comments made during today's Duke Mayo Bowl radio broadcast," Winchester said.

Hahn was named the North Carolina Sportscaster of the Year in 2011 and 2020. He has been the voice of NC State's football and men's basketball teams since 1991.

It's safe to say Hahn's broadcasting future with Learfield Communications is up in the air.

Non-citizens who broke the law to get into this country are illegal aliens, so Gary, please don’t apologize. You are correct.

It is interesting to observe the left’s reaction to words when those words are used correctly. As we all know, the left are masters of word m*st*rb*tion...leaving their created words covered with....

It’s all they have. I can imagine some leftist “Bar/Bob doll saying, “Studies and Eddikashun classes are hard.”

“College Football Announcer ‘Indefinitely Suspended’ After Insensitive Comment”

That is the gayest headline of the day.

Of course any Go Fund Me page set up for this guy would be shut down in minutes. I hate to admit this but I'm slowly coming to despise this country's “leaders”.

We live in a country where you are only allowed to say or believe what the Politburo deems acceptable. Unbelievable.

Based on his lengthy resume, I doubt Mr. Hahn needs a GoFundMe

I’m getting so sick of the stupid retards being in charge of speech.

Pretty soon, folks will have had enough and the treatment they’ll get won’t even be near “insensitive”.

Would it have been politically incorrect to identify them as “Biden’s personal guests”?
