Stan Savran is a commentator in Pittsburgh and between periods of the Penguins-Blue Jackets game on Monday night the veteran broadcaster dropped an incredibly insensitive remark.
Speaking with Jay Caufield, Savran made light of the Eric Garner situation:
"I thought, Jay, the Penguins would have to put on those 'I Cant' Breathe' t-shirts for a while because Columbus was suffocating," said Savran.
That's pretty obtuse when it comes to understanding the levity of the situation in Staten Island and the continued unrest brought on not just by Garner's death but the deaths of Michael Brown and Tamir Rice.
