Lawler and Smith
While on air, commentators Ralph Lawler and Michael Smith took to discussing Memphis Grizzlies Hamed Haddadi, who happens to be of Iranian descent. Lawler and Smith weren’t exactly analyzing Haddadi’s playing skills. They delved into his ethnic background, making insensitive comments such as, “you sure he’s not Borat’s older brother?” All we can say is…seriously, another racist? Both men were suspended for one game after the incident.
