NC State broadcaster suspended for referring to 'illegal aliens' at Sun Bowl in El Paso
Fox News ^ | 12-30-22 | Ryan Morik

Hahn was giving a score update during the reference

"One other bowl game involving an ACC team going on, that's the Sun Bowl, and amongst all the illegal aliens down in El Paso, it's UCLA 14 and Pittsburgh 6," Hahn said.

The Sun Bowl fan fest was canceled last week because El Paso is using its convention center to house around 1,000 immigrants. The city's mayor, Oscar Leeser, declared a state of emergency earlier this month, and the convention center was converted into a shelter due to abnormally cold temperatures.

Hahn is an employee of Learfield Communications, which suspended him for the comments. He has been the voice of N.C. State football and men's basketball since 1991.

IF he said a slur against Trump, all would be okay.

Illegal “invaders” is more accurate. Maybe that’s why he got suspended?~sarc

Those people who he refers to? Are they citizens? Remember a non-citizen is an ‘alien’. Did they come here IAW immigration laws? If they didn’t, they are ‘illegally’ here! Hence ‘illegal aliens’......

Those who justify such harsh punishment are “clothed” in righteousness from all of their virtue signaling. May they recieve their eternal reward for devotion to their high mindedness. It must be hard to remain so committed to such noble causes. They have made themselves into gods. There is no justice and no sense of humor. Don’t smile either. Oh and you can bet it will get much worse.

Invading wetbacks is even better.

I prefer “wetbacks” because it just sounds more insulting.

It's not politics, it's news. El Paso is being overrun with illegal alien immigrants flooding the system. The broadcaster should be reinstated and NC State must be filled with commies.

What he said wasn’t political; it was accurate. The US Constitution refers to the invaders as “illegal aliens”.

His suspension is what was political!

It’s entirely possible that Learfield feels the same way but had no option. When you have such a huge population of uneducated, brain washed idiots in the US what choice did they have?

I think wetbacks is a compliment. It bring images of ordinary Mexicans swimming the Rio Grande to pick crops. Back in the day, it was a two way swim. Money in pocket, return to Mexico.

What it really looks like is truckloads of rapists, murderers, prison releasees and gangbangers invading with armed guards. And, of course, females about to be forced into sex work and children about to be molested.

Black Lives Matter got embraced with huge signs and other endorsements, that was fine for them

CNN 2020:” The Boston Red Sox are showing their support for the Black Lives Matter movement.

The phrase “Black Lives Matter” – written in the baseball team’s font – was on Wednesday placed on a massive, 254-foot billboard running alongside the Massachusetts Turnpike by Fenway Park.

“Recognizing that we have work to do ourselves, we wanted to show that we stand with those who are working to achieve racial equity,” Red Sox spokeswoman Zineb Curran told CNN in a statement. “

Unless he was specifically informed by management to not bring this up on air, Learfield Communications had better be ready for a lawsuit. Go woke, go broke.
