MSG disciplines announcer Spero Dedes
MSG Networks said it took "appropriate disciplinary action" in the wake of a derogatory term that Spero Dedes of MSG and 1050 ESPN "unintentionally and inadvertently" used in a reference to the Knicks' Jeremy Lin during a live radio broadcast last week.
MSG said the term was "inappropriate and inconsistent with the high regard we have for Jeremy Lin as a member of our MSG family, as well as for the Asian community."
Said Dedes: "I am deeply sorry that my unfortunate choice of words offended anyone. It was completely inadvertent. I have apologized to Jeremy and I apologize to the Asian community if others were offended. I will be much more sensitive to my choice of words moving forward."
