Balta1701 Posted October 22, 2006 Share Posted October 22, 2006 QUOTE(NUKE_CLEVELAND @ Oct 22, 2006 -> 03:32 PM) Only in a hypersensitive, pussified society like ours can someone lose his job over something silly like that. If you seriously believe that this was the only reason Fox was getting rid of Steve Lyons...then you just haven't been paying attention.

jackie hayes Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 QUOTE(AirScott @ Oct 20, 2006 -> 09:24 AM) it wasn't that bad. Piniella compared Scutaro's success to finding a wallet. Lyons responded "I still can't find my wallet...I don't understand him, and I don't want to sit too close to him now.'' the "habla-ing espanol" thing was a little insensitive, but he was joking about the comparison Piniella made. I understand the context, I was just explaining what someone could see as "insensitive". Whether it's reasonable or not, I dunno. I've gone back and forth on it. Though, personally, I don't think there's anything even slightly wrong with the "habla-ing" comment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that's where our hypersensitve society took it the wrong way, and it made for bad timing with the wallet comment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the part about "I don't understand him" would have had the same effect, jmo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
