Fox Sports Cancels College Athletics Show After Video Mocks Asians: Fox Sports said Wednesday it canceled a show that aired a segment that mocked Asian students who were filmed on the Southern California campus.
Fox Sports Network spokesman Lou D'Ermilio said in a statement that last week's segment was “clearly offensive and inconsistent with the standards FOX Sports believes in, and we sincerely regret that it appeared.” He said the show that aired the video, “The College Experiment” would be cancelled effective immediately.
The Daily Camera newspaper in Boulder, Colo. reported about the video and the network issued an apology. The video shows a comedian approaching Asian students at USC and asking them to welcome the universities of Colorado and Utah to the Pac-12 Conference. The comedian tells the students to give the new Pac-12 members an “all-American welcome” and then mocks students' accents.
