Danica & banned color man
My net is real slow and usually times out but when I was checking the hockey scores there was a vidio clip about some anouncer who made a rude remark to Danica and got suspended, what did he say and who was it?

From Fox:
"Fox 5 San Diego suspended Ross Shimabuku without pay for a week for his comments about Patrick before her Sprint Cup debut in the Daytona 500. The anchor stopped short of calling Patrick a derogatory name on the air, saying she was a word that starts with `B' and it wasn't beautiful." JR |

NASCAR was likely behind that move. They don't take to criticism well and when they have some influence in the situation they will use it.

From the thread title "banned color man"? You mean the announcer adds "color" to the description while broadcasting? Or was he a person of color, which is bad grammar.

He took his shot and it was derogatory. Considering tolerance levels these days, one week off ain't that bad.
Clearly, there is more to his bias than what is in the video. Fox5 San Diego Sports Anchor Ross Shimabuku calls Danica Patrick a ***** - Democratic Underground |

Don Merideth and Howard Cosell were color men. Color commentator - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia OP used the term incorrectly (per wiki) but the announcer, with his side commentary in the video, definitely provides color. |
