ESPN's Bob Griese Suspended for 'Taco' Comment About NASCAR's Montoya
Given the language disucssion we've had here lately, the similarity to the issue we had here several years ago with Taco John, and the fact that it took place during a football game broadcast...

I thouth this was interesting.

ESPN's Bob Griese Suspended for 'Taco' Comment About NASCAR's Montoya

Oct. 27, 2009
Rob Kuznia -- HispanicBusiness.com

It's been a scandalous week for Walt Disney Company's ESPN.

A couple days after ESPN baseball analyst Steve Phillips was fired for having an affair with a production assistant who went public, broadcaster Bob Griese today was suspended for one week after making a racially insensitive comment about Juan Pablo Montoya, a NASCAR driver from Colombia, according to the Associated Press .

The gaffe occurred Saturday, when Griese was commentating for a college football game, and a graphic showing NASCAR's five leaders in the points race appeared on screen. When another analyst asked why Montoya wasn't on the list, Griese replied that he must be "out having a taco."

Griese has since apologized twice on air.

Meanwhile, Montoya doesn't seem to be taking the comment too seriously. He declined to comment, but did say he'd never even heard of Griese.

Then they fired him for making detrimental remarks towards Pinella since he is Latino.

I never even knew Pinella was Latino.
I'm pretty sure his heritage is Spanish, as in Spain, not Latin America.

During their broadcast of Game 3 of the 2006 American League Championship Series, broadcast colleague Lou Piniella, who is of Spanish descent, made an analogy involving the luck of finding a wallet, and then briefly used a couple of Spanish phrases. Lyons responded by saying that Piniella was "hablaing Espanol" -- Spanglish for "speaking Spanish" -- and added, "I still can't find my wallet. I don't understand him, and I don't want to sit close to him now."

I watched that live, and it was a great piece of sports casting.
