The University of North Dakota has suspended the play-by-play radio announcer for its men’s basketball team after he used the words “choke job” in a post-game interview with the coach, according to a report from GrandForksHerald.com.

While conducting the interview after the game, Paul Ralston used the words while interviewing coach Brian Jones to describe his 74-72 home loss in overtime on Feb. 16 to Northern Arizona. North Dakota had led in the final 60 seconds of regulation despite missing five free throws over the final four minutes of regulation.

I watched the game....he called it correctly it was a choke job. No way he should have gotten suspended.

Things have gotten so out of hand. You can't say anything anymore and someone makes a federal case out of it. Some people would complain if you hung them with a new rope.

The same people who complain would say that they have a right to free speech if it came to something that they said. Screw em.
