What am I missing here?
A high school football announcer in Kansas has been fired after he was filmed on a microphone making comments about players, coaches and parents that were deemed inappropriate and unprofessional. The announcer’s comments occurred during the broadcast of a game. Third Place High school girls soccer matches over the weekend during the Kansas Class 4A-1A state championship tournament.
The football match was taking place between McPherson and Rose Hill and during half-time of the game the announcer, now identified as Toby Moore, could be heard speaking to what appears to be the PA announcer as he makes the scandalous comments.
“Oh, crap. My God. Was the first half as bad as I thought it would be? That game… we just had no flow. What the hell was that?,” Moore said. “About 30 minutes in, a switch went off in my head that said, ‘Stop right now.’ If they’re going to keep kicking the ball out of bounds and misplacing passes all day, maybe I should just go home.” (RELATED: Auburn University golfer Jackson Coyvan loses national championship in most painful way imaginable)
Moore then began talking about all the sexy soccer moms who were in attendance.
“That’s right, baby. Up there, baby. The one facing you? See if she can rip it off. I can’t see her legs, but I can feel her ass from here,” Moore said.
LOL…and it got even better.
“By the way, this conversation never actually happened. You’re going to get in trouble,” Moore said.

Despite multiple inquiries, there has been no response from the NFHS Network.
They also claimed copyright to a video posted by a concerned parent, which is now offline but is clearly newsworthy, so we’re posting it here with the parent’s permission. https://t.co/EC2lv2RvRO pic.twitter.com/ps2Piw8fvy

My husband was fired over some casual locker room chat… sure, the guy seemed like a total jerk and disgusting, but do these off-air comments warrant firing?
I don’t think so, especially since this whole incident is so funny.
