Two CBS Sports Network broadcasters apologized Tuesday for insensitive comments made in regard to a Wichita State basketball player’s name.
During the Shockers’ game against Grand Canyon on Monday, commentators Chick Hernandez and Chris Walker made jokes at the expense of Isaiah Poor Bear-Chandler. Bear-Chandler’s name is a nod to his Native American heritage.
“I’m going to let you say his name,” Walker said on the broadcast. “Is it Pooh Bear? Come on, you got to be kidding.”
