Well Bob Griese just retired from broadcasting. It's too bad he had to make this comment at the end of his career because aside from this, he was one of the best analysts in the game for a very long time.
Was that a red-necks right to 'Freedom of Speech' comment?
Or, was that the same distasteful unhumored IGNORANCE that has been taking place in America for over a few centuries now? Bad habits are really hard to correct. That 'good ole boy' club mentality made it's 'public debut' for yet another idiot.
For some ungodly reason, European-Americans have always felt they were privilidged to make racist comments about other cultures and it's o.k
A reality check on how sick with prejudice, hate, greed and jealousy they are, should make them stuff their mouths with toilet paper. The IGNORANT SHIT that comes out of their mouths, that they think is funny is baffling. This Ass-hole should be FINED
Bob Griese... open mouth, insert foot and don't let the door hit you as it slams shut behind you. Griese has a very good chance of being hired by FOX News and working alongside Glenn Beck.
the real controversy is that COLOMBIANS DO NOT EAT TACOS in our diet...Griese is not only stupid but can't tell the difference between Latino cultures....
This is a perfect opportunity for Griese to retire. Or ABC/ESPN to(fire) help him retire. Of all the analysts he truly is the worst. He can quickly ruin any Saturday after noon.
if it's not racist, it's definitely racially or culturally insensitive, at least. but, not surprising at all. that's a big chunk of white america (whether they fess up to it or not) and it will always be. so sad.
what a shocker! an old, white american is racist & other white americans are defending him. i just LOVE when a noe-con bigot allows their demented thoughts to slip out accidentally. free speech or not, we shouldnt let racists profit from bigotry. even if its overzealous, i think if a racist gets exposed, we should do everything we can(liberals i mean)to get them fired, whether it's through boycotts, or relentless exposure of these ex-segregationists masquerading as good 'ol boy american heroes.
Bob Griese is a stand-up guy. He made a dumb joke that was inconsiderate at least and offensive at most. His audience wasn't a bunch of guys in the locker room on a football team, it was a million people nationwide. He apologized as he should have and we should let it go too.
Yeah, this doesn't mean Griese is a racist -- just a total bigoted, idiot. Sorry Bob -- but the dude's Spanish by the way -- not Mexican. God, so many Americans (and Republicans) assume everyone who speaks Spanish is Mexican. Oh yeah, eat tacos and put salsa on their cereal. Idiot.
The credible thing of ESPN to do, especially in light of their firing of Baseball analyst Steve Phillips for having an extramarital affair, would be to hand down the same "extended leave of absence" to Bob Griese, allowing for him to quietly fade away over the next few weeks.
But that's the Credible thing to do. So let's wait and see..
LOL they'll claim they're not racist until they're blue in the face, but cut one of them off on the expressway or date their daughter and they will go all 1950's on your ass. Of course we do have a black president now, so it could be a figment of my imagination...
I believe its a racist comment. Mexico is 1 country in Latin America (out of 21), not all of us wear hats or eat tacos (we speak Spanish, Portuguese, Guarani, and French) .
I don't even think Griese knew JPM was a real guy.The way he laughs makes it seem like he thought the other guy was just making up a name.Just goes to show how much these networks insist on shoving NASCAR down our throats, as if people like that borefest, just because there's some $ to be made off it in the South/Midwest. They probably told Griese "Here, read this NASCAR promo & act like u love it".
I'm sure Bob Griese isn't a racist man, but nonetheless, certain jokes...just aren't made to be said. No malicious intent, but nothing good was to come from it either.
I am very disturbed by Bob Griese's comment earlier today regarding Juan Pablo Montoya. I used to think Bob Griese was a class act. I was wrong. It was absolutely shameful and I hope ESPN does the appropriate thing and fires him.
I'm torn on this comment by Griese. I think there's a difference between a venomously racist comment bred from pure hatred and a racially sensitive comment bred from simple ignorance and poor judgement. This was the latter, in my opinion. I don't think Bob should be completely condemned for the comment, but he should apologize in a little more sincere manner. I don't really think he's a bad guy at heart, but he really needs to learn how to pick and choose his ad-libbed words more carefully.
