Kind of where I fall with it.  I wouldn't even make that connection to move the announcer myself, but in the end of they (or any public entity) want to play politics (whether I agree with it or not) the bottom line will be how it affects their bottom line.

I'd imagine they didn't even consider a major backlash and now will be more careful in the future.

Like I said, I'd have left the guy call the game and dealt with what would surely have been a much smaller reaction from anyone "offended".
