The 49ers Suspend Radio Analyst Tim Ryan For Lamar Jackson “Dark Skin” Comments

Dec 5, 2019

The San Francisco 49ers suspended their radio colour analyst Tim Ryan after he said Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson is skilled at faking handoffs because of his “dark skin colour.”

Yup. He said it.

Tim Ryan responded to his comments following his suspension.

“I regret my choice of words in trying to describe the conditions of the game,” said Ryan in a statement to the Chronicle. “Lamar Jackson is an MVP-caliber player and I respect him greatly. I want to sincerely apologize to him and anyone else I offended.”

Jesus Christ! Will we ever learn! How many times will someone say something racist or dumb on radio or TV. You idiots are just giving blogs like us content every single day to call you out for being stupid! I even added a new tag for the website just for these broadcast fails entitled “Stupid Broadcasters”. I am sure we will be using it again.

Don Cherry, Jess Allen and now Tim Ryan. I am a bit rattled he is only being suspended for one game by the team. Take the rest of the season off buddy. Good luck to Tim next time he has to walk into the 49ers locker room. I am sure most of the players in that room did not appreciate his comments.

Be better people! You are supposed to be “professionals”. Or you know what, keep fucking up. It gives us great content to add to our page views and topics to discuss on the podcast. I’m sure Dean will bring this up tomorrow.
