Excuse me for being ignorant, but could someone explain to me what Lyons said that was "racially insensitive"?
Apparently I need to go back for more sensitivity training.

Lyons made an ugly joking reference to fearing for his personal property in the presence of an Hispanic.

Dumb moves all around.

and added, "I still can't find my wallet."

"I don't understand him, and I don't want to sit too close to him now," Lyons continued.

so this is racially insensitive and is grounds for firing now huh pc run amock is not even the word for this horses**t i know at least one house that will not be watching the world series or next years play offs this year or any year fox carries it

You got me. I'd read this article a third time to try to find the "racially insensitive" remark but it's so poorly written and uninformative that there's no point.

The person who needs to speak up about this is Lou Piniella. Piniella is supposedly the one Lyons was being "insensitive" to, right? Well, if anyone, Piniella knows that there is nothing wrong with anything Lyons said. If he is an honorable person, he will come to Lyons's defense.

He was clearly talking about Pinella taking his wallet. After all he was the one talking about wallets.

This guy sounds inappropriate all the time, no matter what the topic. Hispanic was just one thing among many. Not a nice guy. Weirdo. Good riddance. He should take his talk to the barroom.

I'm just shocked that anyone from the Red Sox organization has a sense of humor at all.
