Norm has moved on to draft talk, so I don't think he'll be touching it.
Ahahaha ahahahaha

What an ass! He should be fired! I guess he showed his true colors on how he feels about Mexicans and it took him getting drunk for it to come out!![]()

I'm offended by Mike Bascik's congratulations to the "dirty Mexicans" in SA. What about us dirty white boys? No congrats for us?

I'm sorry for my horribly insensitive tweet last night about the Hispanic comm. in San Antonio. I apologize and I hope u can forgive me. 19 minutes ago via web
Was it about the officiating or about this same thing regarding the hispanic community here? Can you give a brief summary of what the discussion was about.
His frustration shouldve been directed at something basketball related, not race related. I wouldve understood if he talked about Spurs players or cried about the officiating but there's no justification for going the way he went. When Im drunk/frustrated I dont belittle black or white people it doesnt work that way. Racism should be a thing of the past especially in the media.
He said that because Dez sounded so incoherent like he was drunk too. He didn't say anything about the Bascik situation.
I'd assume he just gave an interview while sounding drunk or hungover.
cool cool, guess i misinterpreted
thanks guys![]()
I would he highly surprised if The Ticket made any mention of it, aside from a quick on-air apology from Bacsik. They tend to not bring things like this to light. He's not on air today, and is probably on some type of suspension until this blows over. I doubt he'll be fired over this, but I don't think he'll be back until well after the series is over.
Este.
I prolly coulda been more specific.
I highly doubt you're going to get much comment from The Ticket today. They tend to handle these things internally for as long as they can, and if he was actually fired or suspended without pay, there may be legal reasons they can't comment.
The unticket admin is reporting he has been suspended...

I'm embarrassed to say that, all this time, I've been confusing Tom Gribble w/ Mike Bacsik.
I'm perfectly fine w/ losing whoever Mike might've been. Gribble FTW!
Exactly the point.
Public insults of an ethinc group is never a good thing. Whatever racist views he espouses privately should have never been publically aired on social media. He should have directed his venom toward his team, coaches, even the referees - where it belongs.

Dear Mike Bacsik,
We would like to let you know that we greatly appreciate your contributions to our venerated archives. Your poiniant thoughts saved so that future generations will be able to research your life for as long as our ins ution remains.
Sincerely,

Today on the same station, The Ticket "DAN MCDOWELL" from BAD RADIO had this to say:
"Get rid off Eddie Najera, they already have one MEXICAN player for their hispanic community in JJ BAREA. They dont need anymore."
Sounds like they took the bashing of Mike Bacsik personal. Their whole show today was about bashing Barea & Najera and unfortunately both are hispanic.
Before anyone starts a bunch of phone calls and emails about that, don't bother. Consider that Dallas station is full of guys and shows that use Hispanic stereotype humor routinely. It's nothing new and has been approved by the station I guess.
It's funny, pretty much ALL of their shows from the morning drive till the drive home (Hardline) do it EXCEPT for Norm's show (the one Mike Bacsik produced). It's acceptable there. I guess if it's on the air, it's been cleared as a "joke", just don't tweet it I guess. :-)
Time to move on.
That's such bull . I like Norm's show but all those other assholes got to go. them, I say we crash their "muser fest" or whatever the they're having this week and start firebombing.
Good. Although I think he should've been fired, I'll take the suspension. Talk about being professional....NOT.
Don't get your panties in a wad.
The context of what Dan said had not one thing to do with Bacsik. Nor was it remotely a bashing of Mexicans.
He was commenting on the scrubs that they are and had nothing to do with their heritage. He has no love for tampier(as well as shawn bradley when he played).
Simply put, they are scrubs.
They should require him to scrub grafitti off the bridges on the south side of San Antonio before they let him return.
good riddance, Mr. Whoever you are
Not all guys wear panties like you, dude.
And I didn't say it had anything to do with Bacsik. I was just speculating that it might, just like you are speculating that it didn't have anything to do with it.
Really don't give a rat's ass. And it's their show, they can say what they want as long as the sponspors keep paying. So, carry on the stereotype jokes!![]()
