ESPN's next scandal... Mitch Holthus?
Already on the frontpage of USA Today's website:

http://www.usatoday.com/story/gameon...state/1786999/

ESPN announcer: Angel Rodriguez has 'Puerto Rican temper'

Angel Rodriguez has endured racially insensitive remarks before. The Kansas State point guard and Puerto Rico native put up with chants of "Where's your green card?" from the Southern Miss band last season.

During the second half of Saturday's game between Kansas State and Florida, Rodriguez picked up his third foul on a contested play. ESPN announcer Mitch Holthus and analyst Fran Fraschilla then discussed the merit of the foul.

But Holthus concluded the sequence by saying, "That's sometimes where the Puerto Rican temper kicks in there. They need him on the floor instead of picking up a third foul."

It's unclear what prompted such a comment. But in cases like this, intent is irrelevant. Whether Holthus knew it or not, he was tapping into an offensive stereotype.

And it's another bad look for ESPN, which just dealt with the fallout of Rob Parker's comments on RGIII. The two remarks don't mirror each other, but how can Holthus be so out of touch after watching Parker be lambasted?

I heard it live and never thought much of it. He didn't say it trying for it to be a issue.

I was a manager for Warner Brothers Studio Stores at Pier 39 in San Fran back in 1995.

We had the Japanese consulate calling for a boycott of WB because one of the Bugs Bunny cartoons was called "Bugs Nips the Nips". I got the pleasure of escorting the media out of the store and the always appropriate "No Comment".

We did, however, pull all the videos from the stores.

I used to like Mitch Holthaus but lately he is sounding more and more like a douchebag and I think the main reason is that he is worn out trying to tell a good story about the Chiefs as they toil in misery. He is a homer and paid to pump up a positive story on every loss.

Mitch Holthus‏@mitchholthus

I am very very sorry in using a poor choice of words in making a point in last nights K-State/Florida telecast. I have apologized to Angel.

I was able to contact Angel just moments ago. I also apologized to Coach Weber. I have great respect for Angel as a top student athlete

Do people in Mississippi not realize Puerto Rico is part of the United States and the guy has no reason to have a green card?
