I read about that a week ago. It probably won't get as much exposure b/c Hugh Douglas is washed up and no one watches Numbers Never Lie. The only reason the Riley Cooper story got so big because 1: Slow news week aside from A-Rod and 2: dude is an active player in a league that's 70% black threatening to fight "niggers".

That being said, I'm personally very interested in seeing how ESPN responds to this. They have a precedent for not taking this stuff to lightly considering the way they've handled Rob Parker and Rush Limbaugh. To be fair to ESPN, they didn't really make a big deal out of those firings either. In general they handle internal matters, well... internally.
