ESPN show host says "eye for and eye" is southern culture

Radio host Collin Cowherd said that Tony Stewart hitting Kevin Ward is just part of the," eye for an eye" culture that permeates the south. I'm expecting vast protest and a future firing in the works for such stereotyping. Right!

But blame the South? That’s the gist of radio host Colin Cowherd’s characterization of the sad events at Canandaigua Motorsports Park on Saturday night. “It’s really, really part of the South,” the ESPN Radio host opined Monday of NASCAR. “And it’s an eye-for-an-eye culture.” Cowherd imagines that the culture that birthed stock-car racing in America instilled a “settle the score” mentality in the sport and its relatives, which ultimately led to Kevin Ward Jr.’s death underneath a sprint car this weekend.

Tony isn't from the south. Indiana, try again Colin.

Are you outraged?
No and that's the point of my OP. Why is there only outrage and boycotts for certain factions and others are wholly discounted?
It's like the riots in Ferguson. Thousands of blacks kill blacks every year in America and barley a care is given.

If you let anything than an ESPN host says to get attention worry you, then you already have bigger problems than he'll ever cause you.

Cowherd is trolling. It's what you have to do to get ratings nowadays.

But how about a quote from one of the cast members of Duck Dynasty?

Who said he did?

I listened to his whole show that morning. Nothing he said was out of line

But it’s still silly to blame the South for New Yorker Kevin Ward Jr.’s death under a Hoosier's wheel in the Finger Lakes region of the Empire State. All serious people know it’s George W. Bush’s fault.
This article ends well.

It is a bigoted remark.

Dirt track racing in the US is not the good ol' boys NASCAR circuit used to be. I believe the man is behind the times and ignorant of racing as well as being bigoted against southern folk.

Jimmy the Greek lost his job for saying that blacks were bred to be faster and stronger. Why is one stereotype disallowed and others accepted?

Mike Huckabee played this clip on his show last night... The Untouchables- - The Chicago Way
At the end, he asked, "so Colin, what part of the south is Chicago in?"
