So, I'm really out of the loop on this one, but when and why did they decide to let the two Mikes go? I didn't see this coming. Also, based on the videos that someone posted above, it seems that Calabro was the radio announcer for the Sonics, not the TV guy.
Fire or hire - it doesn't matter. It's discrimination based on age. It would have been no different if the boss said he wanted to hire only white females in their 20s. But I digress - this is a Calabro thread!
I've spoken to Sonic fans that have already said they will tune in at least a couple of times just to hear that voice again in a somewhat local vein. As an owner, that is all you can ask because if they tune in a couple of times, maybe they tune in again and you may end up with a few converts and a larger audience. It's certainly not beyond the realm of possibility to see that happening. To be able to do that with the guy on the call for the NBA Finals...winning. That sounds very good and that is a national broadcast. Wait until he can throw a little homer emphasis on it.....can't wait.
Correct. Funny though, my thought when I read this thread earlier today was: What about Olshey effectively saying he only wants to hire players in Dame's age range? I wonder why that isn't age discrimination? Because the team isn't a separate entity from the league, perhaps, and the league doesn't make those kinds of statements?
Tease! Spill the beans. Your'e the new color guy, aren't you? Not my first choice, but still a billion times better than Mark Jackson. BNM
I think HCP's wife will land the job...now she knows the Blazers...and folks..that's the REAL inside stuff
