Maine High School basketball announcers are fired after getting caught on hot mic saying two 'awful' female players were 'extremely overweight'
Government agencies are allowed to mention "obesity" but all others must not mention excessive adipose tissue. And NOBODY is "fat"
Two Maine basketball announcers were fired by a local radio station for comments they made on a hot mic about female players.
Jim Carter and Steve Shaw were preparing to call a game on WHOU-FM's livestream while another game was going on ahead of them.
In a video posted to Twitter, you can hear either Carter and Shaw say, without realizing their microphones were on, that 'Easton has two girls out here extremely overweight. Awful.'
The other followed by asking: 'How come you don't get uniforms that fit the girls?' accompanied with derisive laughter.
Shaw - a retired athletic director who has a place in the Maine Basketball Hall of Fame as of 2021 - and Carter - a retired teacher, coach and author about high school basketball - went on to call the game but were fired immediately afterward.
Fred Grant, the owner of the station, said he fired Carter and Shaw after beginning to see complaints shortly after the comments were overheard.
'I started getting phone calls immediately,' Grant said by phone Friday morning.

Facebook refuses to delete a greatly defamatory post
Hannah Clarke and her three children were brutally murdered by her husband but now a men’s rights activist group is under fire for blaming her — and Facebook has not taken any action against the offensive posts.
Facebook has been slammed for not only refusing to remove an “extremely offensive” post that attacked murdered mother Hannah Clarke but also stating it did not breach their policies.
Hannah Clarke and her three children were ambushed by estranged husband Rowan Baxter as she was taking them to school in February 2020. He doused them in petrol and set Hannah and their children on fire.
The crime shocked the nation and threw a spotlight on the coercive control Baxter had used on his family before his act of deadly violence.
But the men’s rights activist Facebook page Don’t Believe All Women, run by Adam James, also known as Adam Benjamin Cocks, who has been convicted of stalking, has alleged Hannah Clarke used coercive control on Baxter.
“What is little known, as it’s been concealed by the family, is that Hannah was extorting Rowan in the days leading up to the deaths. What is known is that she had posted on his Facebook profile publicly that she was going to ‘take his kids and shut down his business’. Considering the bias in the court system she certainly would have easily succeeded at that,” he posted.
“The irony is that the coercive control laws are now only being used against men.
“Most disturbingly, her choice to extort him and what is an extreme example of coercive control by her, has now resulted in new laws that will further disempower men and give greater control to heterosexual women who use coercive control.
“We need to raise awareness of female perpetrators of coercive control like Hannah Clarke.”
“Being murdered doesn‘t excuse someone of their crimes though,” the post read.
A Brisbane-based domestic violence advocate Rachael, who has asked not to use her last name, said the claims were baseless. “It is absolutely disgusting. There is not a shred of evidence to substantiate his claims,” she said.
