Twitter Comments
Bacsik made offensive comments on his Twitter account following the loss of the Dallas Mavericks to the San Antonio Spurs in game 4 of the first round of the 2010 NBA Playoffs. The comments, most notably "Congratulations to all the dirty Mexicans in San Antonio," quickly circulated on social networks online before Bacsik deleted the comments. The following Monday, on April 26, 2010, Bacsik was suspended indefinitely from his KTCK duties by owner Cumulus Media for "comments were unacceptable and offensive, and are inconsistent with the core values of KTCK and Cumulus." The next day, Bacsik was fired by The Ticket.

Famous quotes containing the word comments:
“My note to you I certainly did not expect to see in print; yet I have not been much shocked by the newspaper comments upon it. Those comments constitute a fair specimen of what has occurred to me through life. I have endured a great deal of ridicule without much malice; and have received a great deal of kindness, not quite free from ridicule. I am used to it.”
—Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)
