Griese Suspended for Montoya Remark

Except it shows his own stupidity - tacos are Mexican, not Colombian - another all-Latinos-are-the-same, apparently, to griese and loubirdling, one size fits all.

Well said, John.

Yes, YOU thought it was funny. But he said it in a public forum, and therefore Griese should have had more sense. Of course it was offensive...apparently in your world, you've lowered the bar a bit. I'm just thrilled that Montoya took the high road and said that he had never heard of Griese. Now, THAT is hysterical.

i agree there is a good chance that what montoya was doing. america commentators are eating dirt for everything they say. i tell things like it is and if you didn't know me things might hurt feelings. but freedom of speech and our rights are going fast. people talk faster than they think. and as a nascar fan i am sure montoya in the chase . what this guy says about tacos is the last thing on his mind.

Not about political correctness...it's about accuracy and stupidity. Griese should know that the man is from Colombia, not Mexico, and should know that his quip was not funny, it was dumb. The man went to Purdue University in Indiana. He oughta know better. Would he say that the Irish driver was out getting drunk, the Italian driver was thinking of who he should bump off, the German driver was killing Jews....this is such a no brainer. Nick the Greek got kicked off the air for less.

Agreed. A joke in bad taste is just that - a joke. Apparently JPM doesn`t have a problem with it. Why should we? JPM comes out looking classy by brushing it off. Griese comes off looking like a tard. ESPN and everybody else looks like a bunch of scaredy-cat, knee-jerk, PC pusses. Now, tell me again how JPM was harmed by any of this? Exactly - he wasn`t.

PJ both Griese and Rush's comments were made simply on the person's race. This had nothing to do with food but attributing the food comparison to a UGLY sterotype. PJ you can hide behind racism but management at ESPN did what was right.They have a code of conduct clause in their employment agreement and Griese crossed the line.

Lighten up Antoine. I am of German ancestry and if someone said I was out eating a bratwurst, I wouldn't be offended. I'd say where's the sauerkraut!

No kiddin, that's like saying a "redneck" southerner is out having a "chicken fried steak"! PC running wild, and I for one am sick of it!

Antoine - isn`t that a man`s name? How about acting like one, you little PC puss. I`m gonna assume based on your comment that you blow c0ck. Gasp ! How dare me ! Someone`s gonna point their finger at me!

That's really pushing it. Black people MAY casually use the N word to each other without meaning or taking offense (I can't spell it out here cause I ain't one of them,) though many like Oprah and Cosby would object to its use. There are names Italian people called each other without offense (beginning with G; W; I best not spell those out either) I suppose if someone called me a stupid Yankee redneck I might be offended, but just at the stupid part.

You are absolutely correct!!!!! What a bunch of wimps!!!!!!!!!! I say get over it.

You got that right! Check out Matthew Hoh.
