Offensive Speech and Political Correctness

Below is an article written in response to a recent event in the sports world: Bob Griese, a seemingly squeaky-clean sports announcer, said something that could be taken as offensive. Truly, Griese is a highly-esteemed indivdual with no marks on his public record.

Nevertheless, he was suspended from work because of a certain remark he made about a Latin athlete.

Was this suspension fair, unfair, understandable, reprehensible, etc.? What do you think about both his suspension and the words that he chose?
