I have passively listened to Cowherd for years, not because I think he's great, but because his show was sometimes interesting. Actually, mostly for those times when he had to admit "when Colin was wrong".
Cowherd would frequently interject his political view into the sports show, something that I always knew would lead to his undoing. So, now the many times admitted, social liberal, has put his foot in his mouth, for the same sort of attitude that he purportedly stands against. Personally, I think it's pretty damned funny, in a dark irony sort of sense.
What say you? Were his comments mentioning the Dominicans as bad as they're being made out, or has the entire PC movement, with it's "gotcha" type of witch hunt moments, really gone too far?

Then the obligatory retraction..
As much as I really don't like Cowherd, I have to say that he doesn't deserve the heat he's catching for making those "remarks". I say the PC movement needs to be curtailed; It's now to the point where not a single race, creed, color, Nationality, or culture, can be mentioned without it being someone searching for something to get upset about.
He got exactly what he wanted..... more people to talk about him.
