He should be fired.
Why did he think this was ok to say?

Pretty much every man over 50 in my extended family still think that kind of thing is funny. I'm assuming he thought the same.

Getting canned will probably be a lesson learned

I don't get why people are saying his apology isn't good enough. His job is to give commentary and be amusing, he overstepped a boundary and apologized.

"I sincerely apologize if I offended anybody, especially anybody in the asian community for what I said."

In what world is that not an apology?

"Sorry you were offended" isn't a genuine apology

That's not what he said though. You're just making up reasons to not forgive the guy.

My response was based off what you said in quotations.

If he actually said I'm sorry, it was wrong of me etc then that's genuine.

"sorry if you were offended" is always a non apology

His apology was fine. Now whether an apology is good enough is a different matter

I don't see how I am.

I don't know if that's the way the guy apologized, I'm just saying in general.

It isn't a real apology unless Nick Castellanos hits a home run in the middle of it

What does indefinite suspension mean? It sounds like sugarcoating for fired, but then they say he's undergoing rehabilitation training?

Reminds me of the one guy that got fired over a wallet joke. I think he was with lou pinella or someone and they said he was mexican and the other guy was like "wheres my wallet" got fired the same day lmao. Whats up with these baseball commentators.
The sad thing is you know these players do it too. In the clubhouse and locker room. Theres just no cameras aroundm
