…even when it isn’t really there.

Mistake “dinger” for the N-word and start a full scale investigation.

An understandable mistake, from the audio.

Not really.
It was a serious jump to false conclusions.

So…from the audio, a lot of people, including the announcer in the moment, thought they heard a racial slur. Are you saying they shouldn’t check into whether a fan is yelling racial slurs at their players? They checked, the guy had a plausible explanation, no harm done.

I see what you did there!

This should have never been a national story.
Literally the number one link on ESPN.com

Maybe because of the announcer?

Then the announcer is a dumbass and should probably look for another line of work.
