Mike Bacsik twitter

[Killakobe81]

Pretty unfortunate comments from Bacsik. As a Spurs fan in Dallas I listen to the Ticket (folks, this is the original one here) all the time and Bacsik is usually pretty good on the radio. He's a former MLB pitcher and Ive never heard this stuff from him before. Im sure he will catch but I hope this is a one time "aww " moment and he gets to keep his job..

at times they are funny ... but I do listen to Dallas sportstalk and the guys on the Ticket seem to cross the line the most. they make racist and gay "observations" all the time.

in context, I don think they are mean-spirited AND they also call out white guys as well ...

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.

Ok

People are too sensitive, in the sense that someone on the street should be able to say "There goes a truck full of mexican's!" If a truck full of mexicans go by.

In Mike's case, what he said was racist, and stupid, and he shouldn't have said it in the forum he said it, and he go what was coming to him. He has a reclaimation project ahead of him, that's for sure.

You should be able to and you CAN say that is a truck full of Mexicans. Please stop equating the two.

Tell me, when was the last time someone lost a job over calling a truck of Mexicans a truck of Mexicans?

I was just quoting the dude, why you being so sensitive?

If the truck is full of Mexicans, why can't I call it a truck full of Mexicans? Just stating facts.

Now congratulating the "dirty Mexicans of San Antonio" over a Spurs win is stereotyping the city of San Antonio and derogatory to the Mexican race. Sucks, but the dude got his comeuppance.

If you still don't see the difference, try throwing some racial slurs around your next meeting at work and see how it flies.

I am huge Spurs fan, but The Ticket is pure greatness. Sports radio stations all over the country have tried to mimic what they have unsuccessfully. There are a ton of inside jokes, bits, and schtick that go on that outsiders just don't understand.

, it took me almost 2 years of listening to it to "get it."

What Bacsik said was completely inappropriate and he should be punished but lay off the radio station. It's by far the best sports radio station in the country.

By far the best. The Ticket has 1/10th the radio signal, but 3 times the ratings as ESPN and The Fan. My WIFE is even a P1.

What Bascik tweeted was offensive. It was also offensive that he was drunk, belligerent, and cursing all over the place. It's not professional, and the racial comment in anger was the icing on the cake. You can't just act like a jackass on Twitter with no repercussions.

What The Ticket does is pure genius. Racial humor is funny, especially when no one is spared. The "black man roundtable" was funny. "Gay or Not Gay" is funny. "Ladies' Day" is funny. Fake Jerry, Wade, and Irvin are funny.

The funniest character they do on their show is "Kris Kris", the Ed Hardy wearing, uptown living, $30,000 millionare who acts like he's rich and is banging chicks left and right, but is really is living a fake life. Guess what? They're making fun of the white, uptown Dallas r you typically see here. And we all laugh, because it's funny.

There IS a difference in what Bascik said and what The Ticket does.

[greensborohill]

Question, is he now more famous for this? Or for giving up #756?

[guzmangm]

I think racial humor is some of the funniest things around. I like George Lopez, Chris Rock, Don Rickles, etc, etc... I joke around with my friends and family. That's ok and what I considered in bounds... It's when you say it to a bunch of people you don't know or make a broad generalization about a certain group of people public, is where you get into trouble. Here's a suggestion to jab San Antonioians, You Big Red drinking mf'ers! There, that's funny but it's not overly insulting or attacking a certain ethnicity, religion or gender. It's funny because we all know people from San Antonio drink Big Red and listen to 80's hair metal... Haha. Go Spurs Go!

Confirmed: Former Dallas host/producer @MikeBacsik will be on my show on Tuesday morning.

Mike B's termination was decided by ulous Radio's management (which is not in Dallas). All of the Ticket personalities really distanced themselves from the decision and were hesitant to talk about it in some cases.

Bascik was drunk, tweeted a stupid comment during the game or shortly thereafter, and lost his job by making a really bad decision. Out of town corporate types washed their hands of the matter by dumping him within two days. Harsh punishment for sure.

The ticket in Dallas (am 1310) goes down all kinds of insensitive paths all the time, but I guess the context is considered different.

BTW
All the letters to the editor in the Sunday Dallas Morning News re: Mavs meltdown BLAMED THE REFS. Some things never change.
