Speed Channel suspends analyst for on-air remarks about Hispanics - NASCAR - Yahoo! Sports:

"A pit reporter for Speed Channel's broadcasts of NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series races has been suspended for this weekend's race at Martinsville after making on-air comments the network felt were racially insensitive.

'Ray Dunlap has been suspended for one race for making comments on-air that the company found inappropriate,' Speed vice president for media relations Erik Arneson said Thursday."

You know I watch the show regularly (ma and about 6 other people I am sure) and I watched the show in question. I wished I had taped it. I know that I am not Hispanic but I cannot for the life of me remember anything that anyone would take offense to other that he stated the obvious. I remember the most offensive thing that he said was that the only way you could get x% of the people at some track to be Hispanic was if you counted up all the workers at the track.
Let's face it. NASCAR is a rich man's sport if you go to the track. While they may have a 10% Hispanic fan base on TV, I am sure that there are not 10% fans at the track that are Hispanic.
Political correctness has run amok!
I am sure that the reason that he did not get a bigger suspension was not many people watch it and it was not his normal duties to be a guest on this show.

Government skeptical of threat against NFL stadiums - USATODAY.com

Government skeptical of threat against NFL stadiums - USATODAY.com:

"The Homeland Security Department alerted authorities and stadium owners in those cities, as well as the NFL, of the Web message but said the threat was being viewed 'with strong skepticism.' Homeland Security spokesman Russ Knocke said there was no intelligence that indicated such an attack was imminent, and that the alert was 'out of an abundance of caution.'

'The department strongly encourages the public to continue to go about their plans, including attending events that involve large public gatherings such as football games,' Knocke said."

On the other hand, should this occurrence actually have happened, they can always say "I told you and you did not listen!"

Either it is a threat or it is not. Take it seriously or leave it alone. I do not need the extra anxiety of thinking it will happen. Of course, I can not afford to go to these sporting events anyway.
