Is Mike the little kid in the "Owned" family picture that sometimes gets posted?

Maybe he identifies as white.


So which bathroom does he use?

My guess is there is some Moorish in his bloodline, which isn't that surprising.

“because of his dark skin and ethnic features, Tirico says, most people assume he’s black. But he’s seen pictures of his father, his father’s mother, and his father’s sister, all of whom are white.”



I think I found out why the dad left...

If he never had questions for his mother about this it's probably because he didn't want the answer.

I'm more shocked that Mike Tirico is only 47 years old.

Who cares about his race, who knew Mike Tirico was a bonafide pervert and has been creeping on ESPN hotties his whole career?

Either that or there was someone not far back on the genealogical chart who had sex with a black person and passed it off as the baby of the person they were married to, and by a genetic fluke, Mike Tirico took on that black ancestor's skin color.

But wow, holy crap, I didn't know this.
