He seems like a decent guy. It was an unfunny and unfortunate attempt at ironic humor that probably got blown a bit out of proportion but I can't blame any of the parties involved. I think a suspension would have been appropriate enough.

Well that's another issue altogether. Not sure why CNN is reporting on Twitter comments by a dude with 1.7K followers but they are the Social Networking News Network of record.
Norm Hitzges, the show upon which Bacsik worked, mentioned the firing this morning, off the top. He indicated that, while they understand the station's decision, the act itself IS NOT who Mike Bacsik is. Uh, I beg to differ. Unless it can be proven that his Twitter account was hacked, then it was Bacsik's choice to go racial with his anti-Spur, anti-ethnic rant.
As I said earlier, alcohol can be considered truth serum. If you're generally a mean-spirited type, then alcohol can turn you into a mean-spirited drunk. Bacsik's feelings and comments are his and his alone. The alcohol consumption apparently allowed them to surface. He made his bed, now he's got to sleep in it. He now has to endure the embarassment that his comments have caused him and his family.
Besides, we have 3 sports talk stations in the metroplex. After this blows over, I'm sure he'll land somewhere else.
What's with the nose and the mullet?Mexican's hit a home run on him too, He got canned
update. thus the firing. advertising dollars speak volumes and apparently so does the latino demographic in texas.
That station just got a ton of publicity.
This is weak sauce compared to what I've heard on this station. All races and cultures are made fun of on the morning show and afternoon shows.
Of course those are made with the intent to laugh, this however, was not.
Local sports is the only thing they specialize in. Even then, they put this at the number 2 spot on their agenda.
Life, pop culture, comedy etc take first place. ESPN has national sports by the balls. We don't need Yankees, Red Sox, or Giants stats 24/7...we don't need another ESPN, that's what makes this station so popular.
I thought it was funny.
Right. But the five o clock show wasn't funny and their knowledge even about local teams was lacking. I could handle the morning show sometimes, but the five o clock show was garbage. At least to me. I prefered ESPN radio at that time slot.
Every show mentioned it today.
Dan ing made me almost choke on my coffee when he was like, "Bacsik had Hot Mexican Opinions."
He fvcked up big time
I'm hispanic, I work out and shower twice a day...
Exactly. Thanks.
This might just be me, but if there are a truck full of Mexicans driving by, you should be able to say "Hey look at that truck full of mexicans driving by!"
Also, in the context of this series, Eduardo Najera has been a dirty mexican.
People are too freakin' sensitive. But in Mike B's case, he fvcked up big time and the punishment he got is what he got.
This might be just me, but if you think commenting on a truck full of Mexicans and calling a city a bunch of dirty Mexicans is the same thing then I should be able to call you a ing idiot.
You're a ing idiot.
You can say whatever you want or have whatever opinion you want. However the radio station is a business and if they determine that this guy could hurt their bottom line or effect's their image, which could effect their bottom line, then they have every right to fire this guy. It's no different than the sponsors getting rid of Tiger Woods because of his adultery. Or countless other athletes with their legal troubles.
You should of ended it with no offense, people are too sensitive... haha.
Don't know if this is direct at me, but if it is, I was making no such corelation. Mike B. fvcked up big time and got fired for it.
Which is why I said that Mike has to take his punishment accordingly, he fvcked up.
What part of what I posted didn't make sense?
This part "People are too freakin' sensitive. But in Mike B's case, he fvcked up big time and the punishment he got is what he got"
It sounded like you don't agree with the decision or understand why it was dealt. You stated it as fact what he got, and didn't attach any of your own opinion, however you began as "people are too sensitive", which implies you don't agree with the outcome.
Made sense to me. I think it's still a hot button issue, though, so anybody seen even REMOTELY going to bat for the guy is bound to get their (hood-covered) head bitten off.
The part that didn't make sense was equating what he did with some non existing offense at a truck full of Mexicans being called a truck full of Mexicans. Since when is that really an issue? If you think he ed up then whey come into this thread and talk about people being too sensitive. It doesn't make any sense unless you feel that this was a case of people overreacting.
I don't remember the last time someone got fired for saying a truck full of Mexicans was a truck full of Mexicans so maybe you can refresh all of our memories.
Its not that people are too sensitive, its that we have too many idiots like this asshole running around.
