Jack Morris has found himself in hot water after an incident that happened on Tuesday night as the Detroit Tigers played the Los Angeles Angels.
During the game, Morris, who is an analyst for Bally Sports Detroit, made a poor attempt at humor by using an Asian caricature stereotype as Angels star Shohei Ohtani was coming to the plate. (Note: Some believe Morris was trying to do an Elmer Fudd impersonation)
After the incident, somebody from either the Tigers or Bally Sports Detroit told Morris that he needed to apologize and that is what he attempted to do prior to Ohtani’s at-bat in the ninth inning.
“It’s been brought to my attention and I sincerely apologize if I offended anybody, especially anybody in the Asian community, for what I said about pitching and being careful to Jose, er, Shohei Ohtani. I did not intend for any offensive thing and I apologize if I did. I certainly respect and have the utmost respect for this guy and I don’t blame a pitcher for walking him.”
Nation, what do you think of this apology?

The PC bullshit police are out in full force again. Pretty soon we won’t be able to have any conversation whatsoever. Everything is racist! Another made up controversy by a dumbass ‘media guy.’
So what would be a proper apology in your eyes idiot, you media people suck at your job, get a life asshole, damned if you do and damned if you don’t. We walk on eggshells today in conversation, B.S., freedom of speech is there for a reason, black people call themselves n——- all the time, Ohtani was not offended either, he has more brains in his bat than all you idiots put together.
