SI's Richard Deitsch reports that Hugh Douglas has been let go by ESPN, two week after a drunken altercation with Numbers Never Lie co-host Michael Smith, in which Douglas called Smith "Uncle Tom."

Good

They shouldn't accept black on black racism any more than they should accept white on black racism

So Hugh calls someone an Uncle Tom and gets fired but S.A.S can say "n!$%a" on TWO DIFFERENT OCCASIONS, and he gets a slap on the wrist?!?

"I am very disappointed to be leaving ESPN and will have more to say about this situation and my future at the appropriate time."
