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.

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.

oh, there's nothing wrong with the "habla-ing" comment, aside from the fact that Lyons is an idiot. I think that's where our hypersensitve society took it the wrong way, and it made for bad timing with the wallet comment.

I don't think it had anything to do with that. I think the part about "I don't understand him" would have had the same effect, jmo.
