They Really Said That?! Sports Edition

Written by Teunis Felter

Fox Sports Florida sideline reporter Emily Austen appeared on a Barstool Sports Facebook Live broadcast where she made multiple racist comments. The most derogatory quotes included that she “didn’t even know that Mexicans were that smart” and observed that “Chinese guy is always the smartest guy in math class,” as well as a reference to the “stingy” “Jews in Boca” that she used to serve as a waitress in Florida. In a statement, Fox Sports Florida senior vice-president Steve Tello announced Austen is not scheduled to appear on any more of their programming.
