They brushed off analyst Steve Lyons for making a racially insensitive remark in the direction of fellow shade commentator Lou Piniella. Lyons made a remark approximately Piniella's Hispanic history that FOX executives felt develop into beside the point, forcing rapid action.

Lyons made a comment about Piniella's Hispanic heritage that FOX executives felt was inappropriate, forcing quick action.

Steve Lyons doesn't know when to shut up. He just said something stupid...it was probably the "last straw" for FOX.

He made a comment that Lou Piniella was "habloing espanol" and that he couldn't understand him...and that he still couldn't find his wallet (reference to earlier comment about Marco Scutaro).
I think he was implying that his wallet wasn't safe sitting next to an Hispanic.
BTW, this wasn't the first time that Lyons made a bonehead comment.

Here's the yahoo link for it, he was making fun of Lou Pinella...Pinella made an analogy to the luck of finding a wallet and Lyons muttered something about Pinella's Spanish and then said he could not find his wallet.
