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.

“. I hate to admit this but I’m slowly coming to despise this country’s “leaders”.
Slowly?
You are more patient than me
Oh come on now. Enough of this sensitivity BS. The Air Force doesn’t want the word “terrorist” used. One university balked at the word “Americans.” The country is going down the tubes.
I don’t know, but I sure would like to see what they would do to Howard Cosell if he was still around.
Well, Howie was from N. Carolina so he would have been a logical fit for the Wolfpack!
the guy should be documenting everything this company does to him and hire a lawyer to bring suit immediately if the company violates his contract in anyway.
He said WHAT?!?!?
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! I’m gonna need 14 years of therapy - just reading this!!!
I think Cosell's end came when he referred to a black player as a "little monkey".
Can’t even call them by their technical legal term?
Maybe it's time for a brain strike. Let the country destroy itself.
Who is John Galt?
I guess that would pretty much put him in the National Insensitive Hall of Fame.
Notice the long running favorite show of mine Ancient Aliens doesn’t say Ancient Extraterrestrials. And they never say the aliens entered legally. 😁
Even though Georgio Tsoukalos struggles to say “extah-tahyest-arells” because English is his second language.
Adamle was Italian, right? I remember when his Dad played for the Browns.
This planet is about to get woked out of this solar system.
Ya know, I think I got the name wrong. Pretty sure he wasn’t referring to an Italian-American there.
Jimmy the Greek's comment was even more subtle then that..
Something about, they being stronger.. (?)
Don’t forget Jimmy the Greek.
He did NOT lie.....
