I lived in Maine when the Shaw and company scandal broke. The female athletes involved were playing for a different school (Easton) than the game the announcers were covering when the incident happened, and in small town Maine it didn't sit well that they said this. The school the athletes played for is a small school with barely enough players to make a team, more than half were urged to compete so the team could be fielded, including the athletes involved. It was extremely appalling that remarks like this, and controversy erupted the minute the remarks were said. Other coaches and folks affiliated with the school Mr. Shaw used to be an athletic director for (Presque Isle if I remember right) said he's always been like this but never was caught until now.

I was half expecting a grenade to blow up in the studio

i was never a cosell fan but have watched nfl and monday night games forever. when he said the "little monkey" phrase, i thought uh- oh to myself, but figured he would just get a reprimand. he got booted the next day, and the ironic thing was, after the game, alvin garrett (the referenced player), was told about cosell's comments and shrugged them off. he wasn't offended at all.

Coincidence....Nick Castellanos hit home runs during all of these instances.

What about Don Imus. The certain women's college basketball team comment. That should have been #2 at least.

The Jimmy the Greek remarks was an opportunity for the NFL to cut all its ties with gambling, which today doesn't even want its announcers to talk point spreads, never mind odds.

you are wrong on howard cosell. it was taken out of context. obviously not the best choice of words, but he said that quite often and had no bad intent. he was saying it because how the player moved, which was pretty amazing.

There was an incident a few years back during a girl's high school basketball game in Oklahoma with a local sports announcer. He thought his mic was off and began swearing and using racial slurs against the players who kneeled during the Star-Spangler Banner in support of the Black Lives Matter movement. He would then try to justify his use of the Hard R N-Word at actual high schoolers as being "high blood sugar"

Surprised they didnt mention Don Imus.

7:00 Wait… What is the CORRECT pronunciation of that word..?

(I know absolutely nothing about American Sports so I don’t know what it is that they’re actually talking about here, but I’d love to learn🤷🏻‍♂️)

While Rush Limbaugh's comments about Donovan McNabb were vile and racist I wouldn't put him on the list solely for the reason that I don't consider him to have ever been a legitimate sports announcer. He never should have been given a platform on ESPN in the first place. He was nothing more a hateful and divisive radio host. Yes, he was wildly popular among the right wing crowd and made billions off his brand, so hats off for that success I suppose. But, in the end all he did was spew hateful rhetoric day in and day out, he never made any legitimate contribution to society and it's sickening that he was given the Presidential Medal of Freedom.

When I saw the title of this video, I knew Mike Goldberg would be on the list

Sure
