A FOX SPORTS REPORTER HAS BEEN FIRED FROM HER JOB AFTER
SHE POSTED A FACEBOOK LIVE VIDEO SAYING THINGS SHE SHOULD
NOT HAVE SAID.
SHE HAD POSTED A TWEET TO MAKE A POINT ABOUT UNDOCUMENTED
IMMIGRANTS, SPECIFICALLY LATINO UNDOCUMENTED IMMIGRANTS AND THEY
ARE NOT WHAT SOMEONE LIKE DONALD TRUMP MAKES THEM OUT TO BE.
LET
ME SHOW YOU HER TWEET.
>>AMAZING.
>>THAT GOT A LOT OF ATTENTION.
FIRST OF ALL, IT DOESN'T MATTER HOW SUCCESSFUL YOU HAVE
BEEN, COMING OUT AND ADMITTING THAT YOU ARE UNDOCUMENTED
NOT ONLY LEADS TO A LOT OF HATRED, BUT IT COULD LEAD
TO YOU GETTING DEPORTED.
SHE IS INCREDIBLY COURAGEOUS.
THESE FOX SPORTS REPORTERS DON'T THINK SO.
LET'S LOOK AT THE FIRST VIDEO.
>> I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW MEXICANS WERE THAT SMART.
>>TRUMP JUNIOR OVER HERE.
>> I DIDN'T MEAN IT LIKE THAT, BUT YOU SEE LIKE ñ YOU KNOW THE
CHINESE GUY IS ALWAYS THE SMARTEST GUY IN MATH CLASS.
>>THAT'S A GOOD POINT.
>> I LIKE WHERE WE'RE GOING.
>> OKAY, EVERYBODY THINKS THAT WAY.
I LOVE BLACK, I LOVE ALL PEOPLE.
I DON'T CARE IF YOU ARE WHITE, YELLOW, BROWN.
>>JEWS?
THEY HOLD ONTO THEIR PENNIES.
>> YEAH, THE WAY I USED TO TALK TO THE JEWS IN BOCA, THEY
HATED ME BECAUSE I WAS A SERVER.
I JUST DIDN'T CARE, THEY COMPLAINED AND BITCHED ABOUT
EVERYTHING.
I DELIVERED A BEER AND HE WAS COMPLAINING TO ME THAT
THERE WAS TOO MUCH HEAD.
I KNEW THAT HE WAS A STINGY ASSHOLE AND WAS NOT GOING
TO GIVE ME A TIP, AND I SAID YOU ARE THE FIRST GUY THAT HAS
COMPLAINED TO ME ABOUT TOO MUCH HEAD.
I GOT FIRED TWO MONTHS LATER.
>> I GOT FIRED TWO MONTHS LATER BECAUSE I WAS BEING A DICK.
>>CRINGE WORTHY.
>>SHE ALSO ATTACKED JEWISH PEOPLE.
SHE SAID SOMETHING THAT
WAS VERY STEREOTYPICAL.
SHE THINKS MEXICANS ARE DUMB, AND THAT JEWISH PEOPLE ARE
CHEAP AND STINGY.
I GUESS SHE DID NOT THINK ABOUT WHAT SHE WAS DOING BEFORE
THIS VIDEO, BUT IT EVENTUALLY GOT HER FIRED.
TALK SPORTS CAME FORWARD AND SAID HER APPEARANCE ON THE
SOCIAL MEDIA POST WAS RIDICULOUS AND THEY DON'T AGREE WITH
HER, IT DOESN'T REPRESENT OUR BELIEFS AND VIEWS.
>> I'M SO HAPPY SHE GOT FIRED.
I'M SO HAPPY THAT SHE WAS SO CONFIDENT IN HER BELIEFS
THAT SHE DIDN'T HAVE TO THINK ABOUT WHAT SHE WAS SAYING
BECAUSE IT ALLOWED EVERYONE TO SEE HER TRUE COLORS.
>>EXACTLY.
IT'S SO SAD AND JUST FUNNY.
I READ THIS MORNING WHERE SHE WAS TRYING TO APOLOGIZE.
THEY ARE SAYING THAT SHE WILL PROBABLY NEVER GET A JOB
AGAIN IN SPORTS.
ONE, SHE WASN'T THAT GOOD TO BEGIN WITH, AND TWO, SHE
WAS SAYING I'M SO SORRY, AND TRYING TO MAKE JOKES.
NO, YOU WERE SAYING WHAT YOU REALLY THINK INSIDE.
YOU SAID BOCA, BOCA RATON, IT'S A HEAVILY JEWISH AREA IN
SOUTH FLORIDA ABOVE FORT LAUDERDALE.
I HAVE BEEN THERE BEFORE.
I'VE BEEN TO JUPITER FLORIDA AND HAD SOME OF THE MOST RACIST
THINGS EVER HAPPEN TO ME IN JUPITER IN THE LAST THREE
OR FOUR YEARS.
BUT WHEN YOU SPEAK FREELY LIKE THAT, YOU ARE IN A CASUAL
CONVERSATION, YOU ARE THE BLONDE GIRL AND ARE TRYING TO MAKE
A POINT.
AT THE SAME TIME, SHE IS FLOWING OUT EVERYTHING THAT IS ON
HER HEART AND INSIDE OF HER.
THAT WAS JUST NO EFFORT AT ALL FOR HER.
>> PEOPLE WHO DO ON-AIR WORK HAVE A RESPONSIBILITY,
ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU'RE YOUNG PERSON WHO IS ON AIR WHO
HAS SOME INFLUENCE.
I DON'T KNOW THE SCOPE OF HER INFLUENCE OR HER FOLLOWING,
BUT IF YOU ARE PERPETUATING STEREOTYPES OR IF YOU ARE
MAKING IT SEEM AS THOUGH THERE WAS SOME SORT OF HIERARCHY
BASED ON PEOPLE'S NATIONALITY OR RACE, YOU ARE A DISSERVICE
NOT ONLY TO THE COMPANY WORK FOR BUT YOUR PROFESSION AS A WHOLE.
PEOPLE WHO DO BROADCAST HAVE SUCH A PRIVILEGE.
IT'S HARD TO GET THESE JOBS, IT'S SUPER COMPETITIVE.
ONCE YOU FINALLY GET THERE IF YOU USE YOUR PLATFORM TO
SPOUT HATE, I DON'T UNDERSTAND YOU.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING WITH YOUR LIFE?
>>IT'S PURE IGNORANCE.
SHE'S NOT 17, SHE IS 27 YEARS OLD.
I HOPE THIS IS A TEACHING MOMENT FOR HER.
I HOPE SHE CAN LOOK AT HERSELF IN THE MIRROR NOW AND
REALIZE THAT SHE IS UGLY ON THE INSIDE AND NEEDS TO WORK ON
HERSELF AND BE A LOT MORE EMPATHETIC AND TOLERANT.
>> JUST LIKE BRITT MCKINLEY FROM ESPN.
THEN AFTERWARDS EVERYONE IS LIKE I'M SORRY, THAT IS NOT ME.
NO, THAT IS YOU.
>> YOU GOT CAUGHT, BITCH.
>> PEOPLE DON'T WANT TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY.
>> YOU ARE TRYING TO SEE WHAT YOU MEANT, AND THAT IS WHAT IT
WAS.
I DIDN'T MEAN TO CALL HER BITS.
>>WE KNOW THAT, I JUST SET IT AS WELL.
>> WHAT YOU SAY DOES HAVE CONSEQUENCES.
LOOK, THIS IS NOT AN EXAMPLE OF FIRST AMENDMENT RIGHTS
BEING VIOLATED, THE GOVERNMENT DID NOT COME DOWN ON HER, BUT
THE COMPANY THAT EMPLOYS HER DID.
I KNOW A LOT OF PEOPLE HATE
FOX NEWS, THEY SPEW A LOT OF RACIST STUFF BUT JUST BECAUSE IT
IS A FOX OUTLET OR FOX AFFILIATE DOESN'T MEAN IT IS THE SAME AS
FOX NEWS.
FOX SPORTS DOESN'T MEAN IT'S FOX NEWS.
JUST WANT TO
BE CLEAR.
