Tony Bruno Show future?

[icybluelake]

To me, the "illegal alien" comment was incredibly stupid, but it doesn't rise to the level of Imus's comments. While it doesn't have any place in sports talk, or any kind of talk, to end his show sounds like an overreaction. Let him apologize profusely and let the chips fall where they may.

His sparring with Bochy is another matter. It's not the first time a MLB manager and a sports commentator have gone at it.

I didn't realize he was taken off KNBR. I don't listen to Tony's regular show, but I've gotten a huge kick out of him and Radnich "doing their thing."

I'm not a fan of Bruno, but I would be fine with a suspension and on-air apology.

Bruno made a comment I find distasteful, but should it get him fired?  NO.

He apologized.  Does that make it OK? No.  If he didn't apologize should he have been fired? NO!

Correct me if I'm wrong but he didn't call for violence against Ramon Ramirez or any other person, did he?

This politically correct BS is getting out of hand!!!

If Bruno's comments were offensive to you turn the channel & if his rating drop he will get fired; otherwise he should be able to say what he wants. 

If Bruce Bochy & the PC thought police don't like it-- go pound salt.

looks like tony bruno has been suspended for a week.

seems fair...

You can't call someone an illegal alien, but you can members of a political party TERRORISTS and that's acceptable.  This country is messed up.

I don't think I've seen a lazier defense of Bruno.  Again, the pitcher he referred to wasn't an illegal alien at all--and Bruno brought said pitcher into a tweet that was supposedly a complaint about the baseball manager. 

Political correctness didn't hurt Tony Bruno, decorum and factual accuracy did.

When Bruno gives further voice to the use of that term to slur Latin people as a whole, something many people on one side of the aisle seem to think is A-OK--yeah, I imagine there are a few thinking people who'd have a problem with that. 

As for your complaint about the country being 'messed up', I completely agree: Lupe Fiasco should have never called the POTUS a terrorist. I assume that's precisely the non-Biden incident you were referring to...or not.

Stupidity holds no political exclusivity, don't even start with a posit that it does.

Sounds like Don Martin & Co. are in preemptive strike mode regarding any future Twitter scandals....Petros Papadakis tweeted the following about an hour ago:

I'm tweeting during a Fox Sports seminar on twitter...I'm wacky in that way-p

I think this op-ed writer is probably what KevinLJ was referring to.

Note: he did apologize four days later.

Stupidity holds no political exclusivity,

True dat.

If only we had a rage-o-meter:

Is this an "Imus" (nappy headed hoes=fired)?
Is this an "Obermann" (I sent money to Dem. candidates=suspension)?
Is this a "Schultz" (I called Laura Ingram a slut=suspension)?
Is this a "Geraldo) (I called Casey Anthony a slut=nothing)?
