What's Up with Finebaum and the major opening groveling mea culpa to Thug U fans?

What did he say?

He’s groveling pathetically. Must have been major. Miami fans boycotting. LOL

Well, now, he's a "huge North Carolina fan now that Mack is back."

Frick Finebaum.

He'll be groveling to the ACC fans the rest of the show.

I missed it.

I see no reason why he needed to apologize.


ETA: Oh I see now...
Finebaum calls Miami a "third world program"

All his regulars are calling in telling him he shouldn't have apologized.

He's saying he heard "after the fact" that he had hurt Miami fans' feelings and he decided he couldn't live with that ... thar the pathetic apology was the right thing to do.

Hey @espn... this sounds an awful lot like it's based more on the fanbase than the program, and I can't imagine why @finebaum would want to make that comparison, short of.... not liking people that aren't white?

This is racism. You are employing an open racist. #FireFinebaum LINK

Finebaum just called Miami a “third world program.”

I would assume the people equating the phrase "third world" to any race are the ones that are racist. Not Finebaum.

Making that leap truly says more about what they think is "third world" not Finebaum.

He called them a lot worse than that back in '92. He should have led off his show with a 15 minute "best of" from back then, and added a "deal with it".

There is a pretty consistent reputation discussions of the Miami fanbase that they are very Hispanic and "city", if not more derogatory. Whether he meant to or not, you could see where calling them a "third world program", a phrase used almost exclusively to describe poor countries (many of them Hispanic in the Western Hemisphere), would be seen as drawing a pretty clear line between the two.

I'm not saying he meant it that way, but you'd have to be blind not to see why some folks might see it as much more than a football dig.

I've heard him refer to Louisiana as a "toxic waste dump" more than once. Frickin' racist.

But toxic waste dump is applied across to the board to gross, disgusting places. It's not nice, but it's pretty generally just used as describing a place of no redeeming value (I'm not saying Louisiana is that, but it's not specifically hinting at anything).

Gosh, what is this world coming to when you can't count on a guy named "Cash Money 'Cane" to see things objectively?

Is someone forcing you to listen to that shite?

I've never understood people that voluntarily choose to tune in to PF and then come here to discuss his shite? I turned that crap off back in '10 and haven't missed a thing.

Some folks just need something to be outraged about. Scrooster needs this as much as the Miami fans.
