Mr Kaplan is married and has four children, according to his XX 1090 bio, which has since been pulled.

Quite a father figure. Get fired over assaulting someone's gender, when your job only calls for you to announce game scores. I'm sure your kids will appreciate it in years to come as they grow older.

UTSanDiego.com reported that he was sued in 2002 after he called a woman a 'skank' on the air while he was at XTRA Sports 690 the previous year.

The lawsuit said that Mr Kaplan approached the woman after she had his illegally-parked car towed and said: 'Do you know who I am? You've ruined my day, and I have 80,000 watts over which I can broadcast your name.'


Not any more. What a tool.

I'm surprised he wasn't fired years ago for not being funny, or knowing anything that he was talking about.

Anyone who talks about the WNBA on a sports radio show should be fired.

So, everyone is stupid or Sasquatchy in this story. Great.

From Wiki:

In a previous life, Kaplan was a placekicker at the University of Pittsburgh who went on to play preseason games with the San Diego Chargers, although he never made the team.

I think that pretty much explains everything we need to know about the man.

Is the D for Drama Queen? Or are you just especially sensitive right now? Will his children "grow older in the years to come"? Did you work for the redunancy office of redundancy?

Holy hell. No wonder West Coast sports-talk radio is so lame. I'll keep streaming The Score, thanks.

Glad they finally fired him. He was annoying as hell.

I don't think you should be criticizing other people when you look like this anyway.

It's "talk radio". This is what they do. The more outrageous, the more popular. just need to stay away from the most inflammatory statements, and make the insincere apology when you have to.

He went over the line when he said he wasn't sure she'd been a woman her entire life, but calling a female player a "beast" and "monster" isn't offensive at all. If you play sports those are compliments. Hell, for some reason the word "freak" is the highest compliment to be paid a football player (see Calvin Johnson, Suh, Jason Pierre-Paul, etc.)

Her maiden name was Lloyd, and she hyphenated it when she got married.

I feel really bad for BR, though. He's been a fixture in San Diego for ages. I guess he'll get another job doing color commentary or the sports segment on a news station again, but bringing him down with this was just stupid.

XX1090 must have been looking for a reason to get rid of both of them. There's no reason you couldn't pair BR with someone else. Hell, bring in Leitner. They could play off each other brilliantly, and he works a lot more cheaply now than in his heyday.

That. (You also forgot The Freak, Javon Kearse.)

Lisa Leslie was a beast. Diana Taurasi is a beast. That little dude on the Knicks is a beast. These are all compliments.

When part of your job description is "be huge/strong; and knock the other huge/strong people out of your way", being called a "beast" means you're doing it right.

if he had described a male basketball player as 'beast', 'monster' and 'sasquatch of a man', it would be interpreted as the highest of compliments.

And when golfers don't hit a putt strong enough, it is called Nancy-ing it. It means you hit the putt like a woman - too soft and weakly. Nobody gets fired for calling men soft. Why should people be fired for calling woman hard?

FTA: An article in the San Diego Union Tribune stoked the controversy by reporting Kaplan called Lloyd "a beast," an "animal," a "monster" and "a sasquatch of a woman."

He didn't even mention anything about her fantastic penis.

I was working at a collectibles shop in the local mall in high school, and I remember the day we got in both WNBA and ABL cards. The WNBA packs came in cans for some bizarre reason. A month later they were all in a $.25 bin, and they sat there until the place went out of business in about 2001.
 
2012-02-08 09:38:39 PM
A mere firing is insufficient. She should sentence Kaplan to death by snoo-snoo.
 
2012-02-08 11:37:09 PM
Why do they hire people to give opinions and then fire them when they give opinions?

That is stupid.

/That said, this woman is HOT. If you look like this woman... talk to the I sound fatster...
