Between the MLK Holiday and some bad weather — Josh Innes is getting off lightly — and this speaks for where we’ve come in regards to race — and who’s allowed to make light of it.
In a shocking turn of events — Innes is suspended for the rest of the week.
Sportsradio 94.1 WIP is suspending Josh Innes for three days after the host used a racial epithet on air to describe Eagles center Jason Kelce.
“Comments made by Josh Innes during his WIP-FM program yesterday in regards to Eagles center Jason Kelce were inappropriate and unacceptable,” WIP said in a statement. “We do not condone or approve of those comments.”
Just before the introductory press conference for new Eagles head coach Doug Pederson on Tuesday — Innes rather than calling Kelce an “ass kisser” — referred to the Eagles lineman as a “house negro.”
