Tim McCarver hates the blind
Nothing was quite as entertaining today as watching the Dodgers/Mets Game 3 and hearing the apologies from Thom Brenneman and Tim McCarver having to eat a bowl of shit on national television.
You see, these two dipshits were making fun of the blind on a broadcast this week and it came around to bite them in their ignorant asses.
Now, it's no secret that I hate Tim McCarver and can't wait for him to be put out to pasture, but if openly mocking the handicapped won't do it, what will? Damn, well what about calling for the hook on Greg Maddux in the bottom of the third in a game Los Angeles trails 4-0? I mean, that's pretty stupid, right?
Anything? Can we just fire him for being a douche?
Anyways, I saw the original broadcast and there was an older fan with a set of earphones and what I'll describe as a cross between a jewelers magnifier (with one square lens) and a bunch of circuitry. As this was happening, the first thing that came to mind was that it wasn't an entertainment device and that there were better than average odds that the fan was blind.
I was right.
They made a series of robot and cyborg jokes if I'm not mistaken. All class, those two.
He's a 20-something year season ticket holder and these two jokers had to apologize on the broadcast tonight. Good, now let's fire the bastards.
For the record, if there's even a small chance that the fan you're openly mocking might be handicapped in some way, maybe you should just keep your funny, funny comments to yourself. For my money, it's just a step behind Ty Cobb spiking a crippled man until he bled enough for the Georgia Peach's liking.
Oh, and a little YouTube love, just to pile on.
