What an insensitive ass. thespun.com/nba/los-angeles-lakers/lebron-james-calls-for-nba-announcer-to-be-firedDuring Wednesday night’s game between the Houston Rockets and Washington Wizards, broadcaster Glenn Consor made a very controversial remark. Shortly after Kevin Porter Jr. hit a clutch shot for the Rockets, Consor made a reference to the guard’s father. “You’ve got to give credit,” Consor said on the broadcast.“Kevin Porter Jr., like his dad, pulled that trigger right at the right time.” This came off as a very insensitive remark because Porter’s father, Bryan Kevin Porter Sr., pleaded guilty to first-degree manslaughter in a shooting of a 14-year-old girl in 1993. Porter Jr.’s father then died in 2004 after being shot at a bar.

Even before I saw the apology, I figured the announcer must have made a mistake. There is no way anyone would have done that on purpose. Such a remark being done as some kind of joke would have been beyond insensitive. Sometimes it is a good idea to give people the benefit of a doubt before calling them names.
