Name a SINGE instance where someone went too far on the left on air with their opinions and got canceled.

Have none of y'all worked jobs? When you say dumb **** there are consequences, it's a fairly simple concept. It has nothing to do with politics, ideology, whatever you want to call it.
Gary hopefully won't and shouldn't be fired over it but he goofed and Learfield did something about it. Big whoop. Readjust your tin foil hats and settle down.
You and other snowflakes were butt hurt by him saying "illegal aliens". Let's all be real and agree that's not offensive in any way, shape or form and then reassess the situation.
Send an email to your entire organization on Tuesday about a new "fill in the blank" to be installed in southern Texas where all the illegal immigrants are, and see how that goes over for you , lol.
I can't imagine an industry where an out-of-context comment that is dripping in political sentiment like that would not draw extremely negative reaction.
Context matters. Discussion of illegal immigration is a major topic and should be able to be discussed, but when you tie a comment completely out of context, you reap what you sow
And, again, "illegal aliens" isn't offensive. LOL It's the legit term for people that are in ANY country illegally. JFC
In what context? If an espn game announcer said, "at abgame in Lubbock today where gun proliferation is responsible for hundreds of Texans getting killed every year the Raiders beat the….", that announcer would get into trouble.
Because it's completely out of context. What happens on sports center or their liberal talk shows has zero to do with what happens on a game broadcast.
