Not surprised at all, but it's unfortunate.
Geez, the guy made one little slip up. This world is way too PC.
And just for the record, HE WAS RIGHT. IT DID SOUND GAY!! lmfao
I guess it offended the gay audience that was watching the 11:00 NIU/IOWA ESPNU football game.

It was VERY GAY - even gay guys would agree!
Did anyone notice how he held his hand up so people could easily see his super bowl ring. Not sure if it was one or not, but on the website where they show highlights they show the two announcers standing there and Kinchen his holding his hand in front of his belly. with the back of his hand facing toward the camera. He had a big gawdy ring bling and a cheesey grin on his face as if to say "I know you are all impressed with my ring." He's a tool.
I'm not familiar with that announcer but I think it's ridiculous that he gets fired for that. Have him apologize and move on.
The story does not say that he was fired, it says that he will not be on the air this weekend.
I would like to see him held accountable but perhaps given a second chance.
What he said was inappropriate and he should have some consequences. If he is fired I hope that he learns from it and that he finds an opportunity with another network.
If Marve Albert can come back, this guy can come back.
