I am sick of this sh-t..........

What are we coming to in this country when we can't even have a conversation without it costing us our jobs or getting time off because of what other people think of what you say. Even Montoya said he didn't care or think it was a rude remark but because this country has become such a bleeding heart that espn had to suspend a person who has been looked up to for years in the world of sports. This Is Bullshit, I guess because I am Italian no one can say I went out for a pizza.

I tend to think the PC police goes a bit overboard myself.

You need a tissue?

1. That comment was TOTALLY unprofessional

2. That comment was a racist remark

3. That comment was a cheap shot.

One weeks suspensiion? What a crock of shit. Give at least a month and a $10,000 fine.

Just another TV asshole who thinks he's funny.

Wow, You must be the president of the PC police. It was just a comment and taken that way by Montoya so it didn't offend him. Your position is silly, but you have your right to your opinion.

Oh! So now we judge a comment on whether it offended a person or not. . . .

Taco, I thought Man-toy was from Columbia. I didn't know they were big Mexican food fans down there. Now if he said he was in he basement cooking coca leaves, that would be some funny shit.

Which just proves that the comment was made by a ignorant asshole as opposed to an informed asshole.

Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't the whole reason people complain about this stuff is because it is offensive?????? If not why would anyone care???

Yea, a good canolli and a good cup of coffee is hard to beat (unless it is cold beer and brats).. The link works, but asked me for a logon and password to view it.

I can view it fine, I only see a need to login to leave comments.

Political correctness has gone way to far, it is getting absolutely ridiculous. This was not even a very good example of PC at its worst.

This country needs to grow up, face the facts and stop worrying about trying not to offend anyone for any reason what so ever.

It's not completely about PC, it's about money. ESPN decided that it had to suspend him to placate the Latino's that watch the network so viewership wouldn't fall off. ESPN is like a politician, so afraid to offend ANYONE, that it does crap like this. How can anyone be at all surprised by this after what it did to Rush?
