CBS’ Andrew Catalon apologizes after “Hack-a-Polack” Comment of Gonzaga’s Przemek Karnowski

I’m sure CBS announcer Andrew Catalon wishes he could take back his comment about Gonzaga’s center Przemek Karnowski. With Gonzaga up and Oklahoma State resorting to fouling, Karnowski, a Polish native and 50% free-throw shooter, Catalon dropped the comment that OK State was going for the “Hack-a-Polack” strategy. To make matters worse, his color-commenting partner, Mike Gminski, is of Polish decent.

Catalon apologized twice during the game and on Twitter afterwards:

I sincerely apologize for my poor choice of words and insensitive remark during the Gonzaga-Oklahoma St game.
