Bigot Richardson Fired From Albany Patroons

Jim Coyne, the general manager of the Albany Patroons, says he will always be friends with former coach Micheal Ray Richardson. Richardson was suspended after Game 1 of the CBA championship series after he was quoted in the Albany Times Union newspaper as saying he had "big-time Jew lawyers" and that Jews were "crafty" and "shrewd." Read my previous post on this from a week ago for more background on this story.

Richardson has now been terminated after an internal investigation. He was not fired for the anti-semetic remarks. However, the team was less forgiving of Richardson's public scolding of a fan, whom he referred to as a "faggot." It doesn't seem as though he was fired for the homophobic part of the tirade, rather that he went after a fan.
