[ShockHawk22]

What. A. Joke. On behalf of Hawkeye fans everywhere, I am sorry Mr. Dolphin.

Here's the audio:

[1977Hawkeye]

Ridiculous. Another victim of the PC witch hunt.

 

[PCHawk]

Oh wow the audio is less bad than I could have imagined.

 

[Doublewide]

Lame this is way overboard.

 

[ShockHawk22]

Oh wow the audio is less bad than I could have imagined.

No racial intent whatsoever. Unbelievable

[ShockHawk22]

Is there a way to listen to Hawkeye sports that’s not a clearfield broadcast

 

[hawkdrummer1]

what a fucking joke.

 

[sioux34]

Oh my gawd!!!! My guess is he will be replaced before next season. That is nothing to be suspended, and quite possibly lose your job over.

 

[PCHawk]

No racial intent whatsoever. Unbelievable

I guess there is a really small chance he subconsciously came up with King Kong because Bruno is black. But there is a way higher chance that he came up with King Kong because how strong and dominant he was on that play. It's sad that people are ok with crucifying a guy over a small possibility that he subconsciously thought something without realizing it.

I took it more as a big strong “animal”
Who was catching rebounds like airplanes

 

[EST1847]

I hate the society we live in...

 

[FRANAMANIAC]

I don’t think he said it maliciously but comparing a black player to a primate, even a fictional character is a little insensitive, given the connotations. Not sure it warranted a rest of season suspension tho. Maybe just an apology and move on. Seems pretty clear Barta or someone in the admin wants him gone tho.

 

[QuadCityHawkeye]

Society is sensitive but this has Gary Barta written all over it. He and Dolphin aren't on the best of terms and this is being used by him to get rid of someone he doesn't like.

It's not a PC thing it's a BS thing with Gary Barta standing behind the curtain.

 

[pythagoras]

Another prime example that this culture SWJs have created is out of control.

 

[SidFarkas]

THE DAY of a GAME AGAIN!?

Wtf is exactly your problem Barta, you dumbass!!!

I guess this means we can’t call Al Lorenzon The Vanilla Gorilla anymore.

JFC

 

[ShockHawk22]

AD convicted for actually discrimination against a former employee (costing the university a sizable amount of money)..... nothing

Announcer makes a comment which people believe could have racial implications.... suspension

What's your opinion on the matter since you know the guy way better than any of us here?

Is the U being ridiculous about this?

Or I guess the better question is (since the U either has to suspend him or face the Twitter SJW wrath), do you think he's getting screwed over in general for no reason?
