Jack Morris Suspended Indefinitely for Racist Remark During Shohei Ohtani At-Bat

Bally Sports Detroit announced Wednesday that analyst Jack Morris has been indefinitely suspended from Tigers broadcasts following his racist remark regarding Angels star Shohei Ohtani on Tuesday.

Morris will also have bias training, and he will be educated on "how he can be a positive influence in a diverse community," per Bally Sports Detroit's release.

During Tuesday's game, Ohtani was on his way to the plate when Morris, a former four-time All-Star in Detroit, was asked what strategy should be used against the dangerous hitter.

"Be very, very careful," Morris said in a tone that mocked English-speaking Asians.
