A Fox Sports sideline reporter for the Tampa Bay Rays and Orlando Magic has been fired after making racist statements directed toward Mexican, Chinese, and Jewish people. “I didn’t even know Mexicans were that smart... That’s fucked up. I didn’t mean it like that. You see, you guys know that the Chinese guy is always the smartest guy in math class,” said Emily Austen, 27, on a Barstool Sports chat show broadcast on Facebook Live. She also disparaged Jewish people in Boca Raton, Florida, and called Cleveland Cavaliers forward Kevin Love a “little bitch.” According to Fox Sports senior vice president Steve Tello, “Emily has been advised that her comments were unacceptable, and she is not scheduled to appear on any upcoming Fox Sports Florida or Fox Sports Sun broadcasts.”
