Colin Cowherd: Not At The Front Of The Herd

Guess what’s coming – racism or sexual harassment? Well, if you guessed racism, you’re right on the money. In 2015, Colin Cowherd made a pretty tone-deaf statement on his ESPN radio show, saying, “I’ve never bought into that ‘baseball is just too complex.’ A third of the sport is from the Dominican Republic.
