Broadcasters Remarks
Edited on Fri Aug-05-05 10:09 PM by ls317
SAN FRANCISCO -- A talk show host for the San Francisco Giants' longtime flagship radio station was suspended for a week without pay Friday for racial remarks he made about the team's Latino players -- though a high-ranking station executive said he would not be fired.

“ I never heard anything like that here. I heard it in the South and in some other cities, but not here. ”
— Manager Felipe Alou

On the air late Wednesday after the Giants lost 3-2 to the Colorado Rockies, Larry Krueger of KNBR went off about the struggling club and its "brain-dead Caribbean hitters hacking at slop nightly."
