UPDATED: Following his poor apology on air today, ESPN removed Colin Cowherd from the network.  Cowherd also posted another apology on Twitter.  Too little too late goodbye:



Colin Cowherd attempted to apologize for comments he made about Dominican baseball players.  He pretty much apologized for calling Dominican baseball players stupid by proceeding to call them stupid.

The whole I'm not calling you stupid...stupid, via NY Post:

“I could’ve made the point without using one country, and there’s all sorts of smart people from the Dominican Republic. I could’ve said a third of baseball’s talent is being furnished from countries with economic hardships, therefore educational hurdles,’’ Cowherd said. “For the record, I used the Dominican Republic because they’ve furnished baseball with so many great players.”

“I understand that when you mention a specific country, they get offended. I get it. I do. And for that, I feel bad. I do,’’ said Cowherd. “But I have four reports in front of me…where there are discussions of major deficiencies in the education sector at all levels. … It wasn’t a shot at them: It was data. … I’m not saying there’s not intelligent, educated people from the Dominican Republic. I cringe at the data, too.’’

I think ESPN should go ahead and end their relationship with Cowherd.  Nobody will miss him.
