Detroit Tigers television analyst Jack Morris was suspended indefinitely by Bally Sports Detroit after he used an accent in describing what the Tigers should do when pitching to Los Angeles Angels star Shohei Ohtani.
Bally Sports Detroit said that it was “extremely disappointed” with Morris’ remarks and that the former major league pitcher will undergo bias training “to educate him on the impact of his comments and how he can be a positive influence in a diverse community.”
The network added, “We have a zero-tolerance policy for bias or discrimination and deeply apologize for his insensitive remark.”
The Tigers also released a statement saying that they were “deeply disappointed” with Morris’ comments.
