Dan Sileo Was Fired Because of an Anti-Semitic Remark
Dan Sileo, a sports talk radio host and former Miami Hurricane, was fired by WQAM earlier this week. It was the second time a Florida radio station fired Sileo and it seemed like a remark about Erin Andrews may have been the final screw-up for Sileo. Turns out it was a half-assed joke about being Jewish that did it. The Anti-Defamation League wrote a letter to the station urging them to take disciplinary action against Sileo. From the Miami Herald:
This comment … is troubling as it perpetuates offensive and bigoted anti-Jewish stereotypes about money that have for centuries served to incite anti-Semitism and violence against the Jewish community,” the letter stated.
You can listen to the audio above, but here is the quote in its original form via Sports Rantz:
“Hey, one thing I’m very proud of, I saved every nickel I had. That must be the half-Hebrew in me. ‘Cause I saved it… That’s part of the old culture there, man, right? That’s why when that $2.06 on that airplane got taken from me, man, I’m still pissed off at that thing.”
Hope he still has those savings.

Speaking of which, Der Kaiser appears to have been absent from these parts recently.

Nobody reads Duffy’s roundups.

This seems kind of harsh for some stupid but nonetheless self-deprecating humor.

WWoS’s infatuation with Duffy has become flat out creepy. Of course, this is coming from an antibiotic abuser, so take it for what it’s worth.

I had the same reaction.

I also had this same reaction but it was back a month or two ago when he was google searching for message boards thrashing Duffy and he posted a link to some MGoBlue post that featured a comment from JHS

Hilarious.

agreed. I mean, given the source, I was expecting something far worse. sounds like that radio station wanted him gone and he gave them the smallest opening to do it.

True, but guessing if he didn’t have the history he has, would have got little more than “hey, tone it down a little.”

Let’s just say that if Duffy mentions today that he’s misusing antibiotics and commits a grammatical error in the process then WWoS is going to splode.

like what forkyladle said – they just wanted to can his ass. An easy way to make up for a bad management decision.
