Probably the best thing that ever happened to him. ESPN IS A JOKE.

This aged beyond well....take a look at ESPN now 🤣

Bro this was literally the best thing ever for Colin! He looks much better now.

I am Dominican and he was totally right. Like TOTALLY RIGHT!!!!!

he was fired for associating Amy Schumer with "great comedy"

I come from another Caribbean Country (Jamaica), I am a BLACK MAN and if he had said that about my country I would NOT be offended. People are too easily offended nowadays.

Tbh comparing Amy Schumer to George Carlin should be a fireable offense

I’ve lived in the Dominican Republic and taught English in a school there. The education system is extremely lacking. Teachers were not trained well or given the type of help with curriculum that they are in the states. My family in the DR says their schooling was a joke. No wonder most young men become taxi drivers or security guards. Your only hope at getting off the island is through baseball or becoming a doctor. There are exceptions to that, but not many.

He deserved to be fired for mentioning Amy Schumer in the same sentence as George Carlin, Chris Rock, and Eddie Murphy.

Consider yourself very lucky Mr. Cowherd. ESPN is a has been

My respect for Colin after this:📈📈📈

I am Dominican 🇩🇴 and I am not offended by that. I agree with all of what he said.

Colin Cowherd is in a much better place. A lot of ESPN is now an unwatchable woke-driven mess.

I live in the Dominican Republic. I am Dominican and he is totally right. Our education system is not good, most of the professional baseball players are not from decent middle to upper class families therefore the advantages of private schooling, which is good, are out of reach for them. He just talked fact. Incredible how stupid the media has got over the years with this softness.

He was better off at FS1 over ESPN anyway💀💀

He’s better off now ESPN is dying any how

He was fired for this? Crazy. I think this dude is genuinely good and honest.

Fired for telling the truth.....welcome to America lol

ESPN'S not what it used to be, they sold out to Disney, sport's like comedy is not pretty.

Even the "out of context" commentary made a lot of sense. Can we stop being so soft? PLEASE. I'm begging America

I know I'm late but he shouldve been fired for suggesting Amy Schumer is or was ever funny

ESPN is a sinking ship.

I cringed when he said Amy Schumer.

The Herd on FS1 is a lot more fun and innovative. I don't always agree with Colin but his show is entertaining

We the jury find the defendant Colin Cowherd.. Not Guilty on all counts of being a racist.

Leaving ESPN for Fox Sports was a smart move. ESPN is a sinking ship while Fox sports is on the rise.

Did he just mention Amy schumer and George Carlin in the same sentence? He should be off of the air forever!!!!!!

Pretty crazy how far Cowherd has come in 5 years. Dude used to be on the edge with rather conservative views and would take shots at different media outlets. Now he is one of the most respected guys on sports TV.

Oh PLEASE. people need to stop with the "I'm offended" crap.

He’s better off not being on espn, that channel is unwatchable.

He wasn't took off air for this he left on his own

These media outlets should be held accountable. Either play the entire tape or forget the article is how it should be. No one should have to explain over and over something they said if the entire conversation is not played.

Im a 32 year old black male from brooklyn ny and i love Colin. People are too damn sensitive nowadays.

Wow. He didn't say anything wrong at all, just spoke FACTS. WTF is wrong with that??

This man said Amy Shumer was a great comic 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Hahahahaha amazing how much money ESPN lost when they let him go.

Fox heard that clip and offered him a contract on the spot.

All this does is remind me how happy I am Colin is in FS1. Great show!

I’m still waiting for the bad thing he said....

Wait, ESPN fired him for this? Hahaha..What a joke

We live in a world ruled by feelings over fact. That is a shame.

I'm dominican everything he said was true so what's the problem

He needs to apologize for the Amy Scuzzzz comment. She’s nasty.

This MUST stop!

Don't you dare utter Amy Schumer's name in the same breath a Louis CK.

you don't need to go to college to understand baseball never make the mistake between knowledge and education

There's no way he was fired for this. Curious what actually happened

Time stamp?

tbh him on fox sport's is way better anyway

I agree with this dude about 95% of the time and do here as well. He backs his shit up with facts and research. Miss him on SportsNation but this is definitely his calling

Whoa whoa whoa Colin, the minute you throw Amy Schumer and 'Great Comedy' in the same sentence, you destroyed your point.

What an immature thing to say... Colin must have been wearing his hat backwards during these years

He got fired for this?

People, especially in America are way to sensitive. Way. Cry me a river people.

He is way better on the herd than on ESPN

Colin was on my local station in Tampa back in the early 90’s 820AM The team. I thought he was good then and he’s pretty good now. That wasn’t racist one bit. He’s in a much better position now. Screw ESPN it’s a joke

I found nothing wrong with what he said

jesus christ he just literally told the absolute truth

Colin was spot on in this one. Never thought I’d witness a titan like ESPN go down.. The truth can only be suppressed for so long, it’s coming to that a tipping point for sure. Cowherd will be off better, talanted guy.

Seems to me that Mr. Cowherd has a point that is worthy of further discussion.

I lived for three years in Santo Domingo. What this host said is exactly right. Public education is solely primary. It ends at grade eight. There are no public high schools in the Dominican Republic. All secondary education is private, and ninety percent of Dominicans cannot afford the tuition. I was offered a position teaching English at a private secondary academy. . They are akin to preparatory schools here. Those students go on to the professions and well paying jobs. The other ninety percent face a life of grinding poverty. The ball players come from that pool. Maybe the poverty is what makes Dominicans the best players in the world. I did not accept the teaching job.

I'm from DR and he couldn't said it better. most of this players don't have high school education is the true. and I'm born and raised in the Dominican Republic.

Everything he says is objectively true or a subjective take of minimal significance. He continues to shine while others are routinely dismissed and forgotten.

He got fired for this?!?! ESPN was crazy even back then.

Hay Colin, what you said is alright. I'm Puerto Rican, and I get you.

Im black and from the hood and I had no problem with what the Herd said

What year was this ???

I boycotted ESPN wants they started talking about politics

his contract was up and he was leaving ESPN anyway they "let him go" like 3 days early

He was already leaving for fox, they were giving him more rights to his content. Better deal, plain and simple

1:50 Did he just say AMY SCHUMER was a great comic? Dude Patrice Oneal is ROLLING OVER IN HIS GRAVE RIGHT NOW.

Wow! Colin has been one of my favorites for years because, in fact, he brings such a thinking man's intelligent take to so many subjects. I never realized that his move to Fox was due to this ESPN firing. Wow, ESPN was the loser in that! I love the Herd!

ESPN has been dying for years. I loved it when the talent was great but never watch anymore.

Colin was the coolest guy on espn radio

I remember this. This happened around the Same time he announced he was leaving ESPN and joining FS1.He actually wanted to finish out his Contract before leaving but made this "controversial statement" then got "Fired" from the Network In a twist of fate. ESPN the Network has gotten a lot worse by chasing off Very talented people from it's platform, and replaced them w/ SJW Robots, while Colin is now enjoyed a Huge payday while now living in Los Angeles, but his Show was a LOT better on ESPN

I didn't realize that ESPN was still considered a sports channel.

No that's not true. He left. He wanted to move to LA and be his own boss. He asked for an expanded ownership of his podcast at espn, they said no.

I don’t really like Colin’s show but he already told espn and said on air that he was leaving before this happened this is bs

What were the comments ?

I've only heard Colin's version and point of view but I'm inclined to agree with him at this point prior to hearing any of the opposing views.

this entire god damned world has gone soft as baby shit. people need to stop victimizing themselves. its sick. its pathetic. and it its "cringeworthy". wtf

You know what offends me in today's me too society? Everybody today looking for something to offend them. lol

He was leaving ESPN anyway, he got “suspended” his last week. He already had announced he was going to Fox before the comments. And Stephan A and Max can say whatever they want and face zero consequences when putting whites down and having zero facts just ranting.

Nothing to see here. Lame excuse by ESPN and I would NEVER WORK THERE IF THIS WAS TRULY THE REASON FOR FIRE which I bet was not. Because for this reason everyone could b fored then. Its lame.

I''m from the Dominican republic ,I Don't feel offended. He said the truth we have to look ourselves in the mirror and change .I freaking love baseball for us is the greatest sport ever created period.

Decent dude was always fair and pretty much impartial telling the people the truth comes with a cost in America.

Him citing world bank to justify comment (after the comment turned into issue ) is what showed he doesn’t get it. Did he know world bank Dominican Republic education stats before comment ? Lol no. His Uber point is right though: it is way easier to manage a baseball team than football. No need to bring in education of DR etc

I’ve been to the Dominican Republic several times and I speak spanish, and saying the Dominican Republic has education issues is simply stating the truth. I saw nothing racist about what he said at all. Colin can come off critical or condescending, but he is always like that. He is an acquired taste as far as sports commentary goes. But what he said is true. It could have been said different sure, but you could say that about everything he says.

ESPN or MSNBC I can’t tell anymore

As Ben Shapiro would say....ESPN is now just MSNBC with basketballs. Also, how do you leave Bill Burr off that list?

I stopped watching ESPN years ago.

But he is on ESPN still look at the background and stuff... what am I missing....

I just got through listening to Colin call out Michelle B. from ESPN and thought, "dumbass." So before listening to this I was not viewing him in the best light. I say that because I viewed this video waiting to hear a racist remark, but it never came. He never called out a race of people, he criticized a country's education system. He didn't say a certain race of people in that country are unintelligent because of their skin color. Also I looked into it...there wasn't any outrage until these comments were manipulated and taken out of context. As an American I do not get offended when people say our education system is failing our children, because it is. I also think I'd be failing my children if I taught them it was okay to chastise someone over something so miniscule. I grew up in south Texas and unfortunately I can assure you racism exists and while I can not tell you what Colin or anyone else in this world says and believes behind closed doors I can say that anyone who becomes enraged about something without getting the full story is doing themselves and the accused an injustice. That is all for my first internet rant, goodnight.

You got fired for mentioning Amy Schumer’s name with talent

Contract was up. ESPN let him go early to get some press. If mildly uncomfortable opinions are banned then free speech is done.

I’m pretty sure he was leaving anyways but okay ESPN. So woke

You could say "I only where white underwear" and someone will be offended.

Am Dominican, and now is when I finally watch this, to be honest I don't see anything wrong. Our education is the awful, teacher deficiency, no structure, teaching method. Am not offended cause I know it's the truth. Yes we are good at baseball, but also truth we came from difficult background and education deficiency

Not a Firing comment. Boy oh boy. ESPN was looking for an excuse?

So he get canned for that yet Steven A Smith is still around spewing his loud ignorant mouth. Crazy world huh?
