The latest guy to lose his job over a racial remark is a sports talk show host in St. Louis. Dave Lenihan was discussing Condoleeza Rice's supposed interest in the NFL Commissioner's job. He meant to say it would be a big "coup" for the league. Instead, he said "coon".
“She’s just got a patent resume, of somebody that’s got such serious skill,” Linehan said on the air. “She loves football, she’s African-American, which would kind of be a big coon, a big coon – oh my God, I am totally, totally, totally, totally, totally sorry for that, OK? I didn’t mean that. That was just a slip of the tongue.”
